Hello from Bampton in Oxfordshire in England

Wonder if Americans know that the "lawn" was an English invention, like the sandwich? I read upscale homes in London would show off their lot size by planting grass. Then Lord Sandwich would order up a quick meal to watch the grass grow. True? :laughing:

I suppose in those days to grow something in your garden that you could not eat was considered very posh . Gary :smile:
