Have you got a minute?

What do you think of when you think of a minute? A baby taking its first breath, as one does every minute in the UK. The Sumerians and the Babylonians, the two great civilisations whose number systems determined the minute’s length? Or, to turn to music, Chopin's Minute Waltz that takes a little more than just a minute to play, or the Tavares song, It Only Takes a Minute?

Each year we are given over 500,000 minutes, and we hope you'll spend some of them falling in love with our new blog, The Gardens and Mowers Minutes. The Gardens and Mowers Minutes, will cover any and everything to do with gardening and garden machinery and each short post should only take minutes to read. So down tools, get yourself a nice hot cuppa, and pop over every week to spend a few Gardens and Mowers Minutes in our virtual shed.
