That's just great, I am flying into Edinburgh on Friday and flying out on Sunday. :smiley-music002:

It will have calmed down to a light breeze by then lil4399.  :)

I'm down in Manchester just now so I've missed it all. My neighbours will  probably have had to collect my rubbish bins from the end of the street.  :laugh:

Rubbish bins do seem to be particularly aerodynamic  :rofl2:

Leaf blowers are pointless anyway, you still have to pick them up later.

We have one, got it years ago, it has a blow function & a suck & mulch function.  Ya blow the leaves into a pile, put it on suck & it's like a vacuum cleaner, sucks them all up & mulches them into a bag underneath at the same time.  Empty it into the compost heap.   Sucking up stones & bits of wood buggers the mulcher, but it still puts them all into the bag.

I wish everything had a blow & suck function  ;) :whistling: :smile2:

Not if you blow them over to the neighbours.  :whistling:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

If you are going to run out of fuel, do it in your garage.

It's only a short walk to the kettle.

Leaf blowers i detest. they sound horrific, just blows your mess to be someone elses. i have two of them, never use. hose or broom.
