This may be too controversial for the pristine lawn people but I won't be raking my beech leaves from our lawn. Please don't tell me it will degrade my lawn as haven't raked for 3 years, no ill effects. I know this will trigger some in the village and I'm happy with that 😊

I have a regular arrangement with a delivery guy where I give him any small eggs I’ve graded out. We’ve had the “I feel guilty” conversation that he has nothing to give me. He does because I feel a better person to have helped another in some way. Isn’t this how humanity works 🤔
