my front lawn is your front lawn

I'm a west coast writer, editor, design junky, fashion lover and book collector. After moving to Scotland in 2006 I spent the next five years making my way back home incrementally, by way of Oxford and Toronto. Today I can be found combing Vancouver's secondhand shops, jogging the seawall, and appreciating local microbrews.

The Front Lawn is where I put out my thoughts on design, fashion and culture. Dig your toes into the grass and stay a while!

cool off

DateTuesday, August 4, 2009 at 2:22AM

The sun FINALLY joined us in Oxfordshire on Sunday. We took advantage of it by tootling around in the yard. Well, I tootled - tugging at weeds here and there. Dean's involvement was a bit more hardcore: trimming ivy, mowing the lawn and helping our landlords chop a tree and burn a big pile of brush.

By the end of the day he was sweaty and smelled like cinders and sap. Obviously there was only one proper way to cool off after all that. I mean, beside the soothing sound of rushing water, why ELSE would you have a stream in your yard?
