this pod cast could only be bested by being there while these modern day magicians work their magic from the serenity of yhe eco lodge where it would only be right to re live the anticts of the "big friday" to see who can delete pint of guiness the fastest!
I’d love to come on the show and discuss NZs favourite spring topic: lawns. Grass types, fescue? Ryegrass Poa cita? Choice of lawn mower, push? Petrol? Electric? Ride on? Now patterns, diagonal or checkerboard? When your mower won’t start, Whaddaya do? Whaddaya do?
