Our new house has a nice garden -- a relatively big garden, especially by English standards. So after ten years of marriage, we finally bought our first lawnmower. One of our neighbours joked if this is what Charles buys me after ten years of marriage, imagine what he will get me after fifty! We were also told that we had bought a 'posh mower' prompted by the fact that we bought a lawn mower that was fuelled by petrol/gas instead of electricity.
We knew after borrowing one of our neighbour's electric lawnmowers while my sister was here visiting that we would need to get a petrol mower. All my sister kept saying the whole time Charles was out mowing with the electric mower was: 'it looks like Charles is out vacuuming the back yard'. And to be honest, she was right. We may have lived here six years, but electric lawnmowers still look funny to us - so petrol it was for us!
Here are some pictures from our garden:

Awww! So pretty! We need to come see it for ourselves....and meet little bitty!
I am so jealous - that is beautiful! And glad Charles doesn't have to vacuum anymore.
I agree that electric mowing looks like vacuuming! We had one at our place in Scotland, and accidentally mowed over the cord...sliced right in two!
The garden looks great! I love all of the flowers.
Wow! And you inherited it. I dig and plant and weed and water and mine looks pretty puny compared to yours. I agree that working in the garden sounds much more elegant than working in the yard. Maybe we can instigate a language revolution.
