It has been 13C today in North London - a perfect spring-like day. The
ground is the firmest it has been for four months and the grass is
dry. If this weather carries through for a couple of days would any
harm be done by mowing the lawn with a high cut?

I have done it in Scotland with no probs whatsoever. And it was not as
dry as you are saying. Mind you, "grasses" describes my green better
than "lawn" :-)

Hoping to get mine done this weekend, too. It hasn't stopped growing since
last summer and my crocuses are just appearing and I fear I'll never see
them! LOL!

Mowed mine in January (South Lancashire) and it is OK - indeed it will
probably need another mow soon.
