Don’t you just love nature and waking up on a sunny Sunday morning to lawnmower and petrol strimmers howling in the background? Yes, I bet you do.

Sunday morning is the only chance I get to have that extra hour of quality rest to recover from the demands of the week – but clearly others among us have their own ideas at this time of year.

Don’t get me wrong, everyone is entitled to a well-kept back yard and a neatly-trimmed bush, but a few of my neighbours have taken this too far and have invested in those high powered, turbo-charged, petrol-driven hedge cutters.

Their enthusiasm for these new gadgets has meant that the whole street wakes up early to find out where the noise is coming from.

I honestly thought that a Formula One racing team had relocated their practice sessions to Ammanford – and broken the non-essential workforce rules.

But, don’t worry about me, I’ve sorted it and will be ready for next weekend as I’ve invested in a large box of ear plugs.
