GRASS CHUTE

Summer reminds me of long lazy days off school for the six week summer break when I was a kid. I spent hours in the garden with my mates.

One of the many summer activities we got up to was grass chute. It sounds strange but basically we built a sloped wooden chute down the small hill at the top of our garden, which we piled cut grass onto. Using brooms and poles we then pushed the grass down the chute into a barrow waiting at the bottom. Cut grass farming really! ha ha. Great fun!

What did you and your childhood mates get up to in Summer readers?

you can just make out the slope at the top
