Oh how I hate cutting the grass. Not only is it the amount of physical effort it requires and the fact that it has to be done during the few warm, dry days we get each year when I’d much rather be doing other things, but it feels very much like I’m destroying an entire ecosystem (yes, I always let it get too long). Last time a seemingly endless array of wildlife was dislocated – from next doors’ cat which likes to sleep in the long grass, to a frog which very nearly met an unpleasant end (after much fun attempting to catch it, I eventually managed to shepherd it away to some long grass I wouldn’t be cutting).
What I really need is for something vaguely endangered to start living there, then I’d have a pretty good excuse for never cutting it. Unfortunately, Google suggests the frog was just a Common Frog, which I’m guessing isn’t endangered…
