The first cut

Reflection continued- so powered up, again thanking neighbour of demonstration, the mower started first and subsequent times as with five lawn areas, the need to empty the cutting, although the bag seems to compact the cutting well saving the need for constant visit to the compost bins, the job was done. I would like to think I can get a better result but that has been more me that the machine, as you can see! Now sure if anyone will make the connection was Honda, but yes, we did buy the Honda Civic car for less that the Honda Izy! So happy days all ready for the winter! Em - does one cut the grass in winter? A special mention to Ernest our neighbour, now in his 80's who has cut the lawns for the last 15 years. We do appreciated his support and work with a hope that once regaining his health he will find a Honda Izy 415SD a dream to use!

Reflection




HONDA IZY 415SD

 

As one gets near another year older reflection is not something to do lightly. However it can be joyous and dangerous, as our recent purchase demonstrates. The time was when the interest and excitment was the new edition of "Aramis", rushing down to Fenwicks in Newcastle to make sure they had it, but more important, to see if there was a free tester so you could smell of it! Then party on! But now Mr Gala of Morecambe fame has provided the resources for us to purchase a lawn mower, not just any lawn mower but a Honda Izy 415 self drive lawn mower! After some assistance from our neighbour Russ, the item was found on www.justhonda.co.uk purchased at a fair price, delivered free, although the delivery guy, Craig, was on his own and I had to help get it off the van, me with a reputation of accidents, damaged quads etc, I think he thought it might have been better to do it on his own! That apart the box was damaged, which Craig duly noted, but the contents seemed fine. Now the challange of putting the pride and joy together with lousy instuctions consisting in the main of penciled picture, what can on expect from the French? Elements against me and Frank supervising, started to assemble, so in the course of time had a Honda 415SD ready to fire, oops, given my history of garden fires and burns and considering petrol used, perhaps the wrong word there!
