Many thanks to everyone for their contributions to the thread. I think we may as well wait til we get there and head down to the nearest Garden / DIY place on the second day of residence as by early May it will be growing like Topsy.

I read this thread re ride-on mowers: http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/817046/ShowPost.aspx ...and I'd be interested to know whether they're cheaper in England or France. Also, any advice concerning specific models / dealership chains etc would be really helpful. We're making the move soon and have about an acre of lawn to mow which is reasonably flat and in pretty good general condition. I know nothing about this part of life whatsoever yet, but have a feeling I soon will!
