My neighbour on the adjoining estate has asked me to plug his new venture at the Goldmark Gallery in the market town of Uppingham. Unmitigated Travellers will have heard of this remarkable artcentric world, and now it has joined the blogosphere with a journal called, in true Goldmark fashion, Butchers' Hooks. I'll say no more, but I take this opportunity to remind Lord Carrot that he still has my Atco in his stable block. Held to Ransomes, you might say. I just hope that it has not become enriched with the Pleasing Decay patina that decorates the rest of his desmesne. Oh how I long for idle Saturday May mornings, thinking about that first cut of the year and the smell of freshly-cut grass under the cedars as...(get on with it. Ed.)
That's one of the places I most want to visit EM. Just imagine. I wonder if they waft the scent of newly-mown grass through the air conditioning? I'll link it now.
Stroud in the fair county of Gloucestershire also has strong links with the history of the lawnmower and has a good display on the subject in its Museum in the Park.
I look forward to seeing Lord Carrot empty his grass box on a regular basis.
I am a designer, writer and photographer who spends all his time looking at England, particularly buildings and the countryside. But I have a leaning towards the slightly odd and neglected, the unsung elements that make England such an interesting place to live in. I am the author and photographer of over 25 books, in particular Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2006), More from Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2007), Cross Country (Wiley 2011), The Cigarette Papers (Frances Lincoln 2012), Preposterous Erections (Frances Lincoln 2012) and English Allsorts (Adelphi 2015)
"Open this book with reverence. It is a hymn to England". Clive Aslet
Preposterous Erections
"Enchanting...delightful". The Bookseller "Cheekily named" We Love This Book
The Cigarette Papers
"Unexpectedly pleasing and engrossing...beautifully illustrated". The Bookseller
Cross Country
"Until the happy advent of Peter Ashley's Cross Country it has, ironically, been foreigners who have been best at celebrating Englishness". Christina Hardyment / The Independent
More from Unmitigated England
"Give this book to someone you know- if not everyone you know." Simon Heffer, Country Life. "When it comes to spotting the small but telling details of Englishness, Peter Ashley has no equal." Michael Prodger, Sunday Telegraph

Surely this merits a link to the Lawnmower Museum in Southport; not been there myself though so can't comment on its collection.

I say! 'Miss' looks like she knows a thing or two about Amal float chambers!
She looks pretty Unmitigated to me !
Nice hat.
My first lawnmower here on Continental Europe was called Queen Garden. Very stately. All the wheels fell off which was very apt.
