The Monster Behind the Shed
Buried behind Sandra Lawrence's shed was a colossal lawn roller, a relic of Britain's lawn-mad past. Uncovering its history led her into a forgotten world of striped grass, concrete-chic gardenalia, and a time when every respectable gardener needed an impracticably heavy roller.
Okay, hands up: who else has dug up the bones of a monster lurking at the back of their garden, left over from the Lawntaceous Era of the Mower-zoic Period and occurring in Jurassic strata between early Triassic lawn making and the Cretaceous As-long-as-it's-green-it'll-do era we know today?
