Thumbs up for plastic rakes and Jacqui Lawson’s e-cards!

Hi Liz

Great that it worked out well for you!

We have a giant gravel rake (metal) which I adore too.

I was a bit suspicious that at that price it might disintegrate at the first outing but it's fine. Using it on the lawn requires hardly any effort and doesn't maul plants in the borders. The metal rake is banished to the shed alongside the lovely big wooden job - although that was wonderful when I had gravel to contend with.Thank you so much.

It now just decorates the shed as the ugly plastic one does the job in half the time and, for this, I forgive it's baby blue colour too. (Why can't they at least make them in green?) But, to be honest, I only rake the leaves which are on the gravel path, or on the very small piece of decent(ish) lawn - otherwise, I just let them rot down naturally. Also use bin liners for the ones I do collect - just pierce a couple of holes and tie them up. Must tell you - I used your search engine for ecards and found what I was looking for straight away. I've now joined Jacquie Lawson e-cards. I know you've had some problems with the post there, but here it is always dodgy, so these will save the day and, as you said, are much greener. I've been a bad blogger lately, so haven't tried the widget Danny so kindly explained, but when things pick up, I shall. Thanks. My old wire rake handled awfully.
