Let's see

Delivered the lawn tractor to the DIY store Drive-In site. They have two adjacent huge buildings, one with all the normal stuff and one where you drive in with car/van & trailer and load directly from the shelves into the vehicles. Naturally for big & heavy things. The garden department's hire machinery and workshop is in the Drive-In which makes it easy to drive right up to the spot with the horse trailer & offload.

The manager was called over from the main building and turned out to be a very amicable person. Understood & agreed with all our issues and promised to get it done rapidly by using a local garden machine specialist to do the work. He also offered us his same brand lawn tractor they use to keep the grass areas around the buildings cut.

So we drove over to the main building where their tractor was. While Angie was with the manager sorting this out, I photographed (extra photo) the huge advert/poster of a lawn tractor on their building -  naturally not the  brand they sold us. After ages, Angie turned up only to say their tractor wouldn't start, the battery was flat! She turned down the offer of a hand push mower & given weather turning tomorrow for the worse, we won't be mowing for the foreseeable future.
