Hanneke Mar 2021 1:35pm, 22 Mar 2021 71,708 posts	0 Hanneke Mowing the lawn used to be cross training... Now there is just gardening. Not the same in my view. I wouldnt log gardening but mowing the lawn, especially without a self propelled mower, is hard work!

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
