- THIRTY, FLIRTY AND GLIDING: CORRIE STAR LUCY FALLON SWAPS CLUBBING FOR GARDENING IN THE WAKE OF HER 30TH BIRTHDAY
Cobbles legend Lucy Fallon has this week taken to Instagram to share how she’s been embracing a love of gardening, following her recent 30th birthday celebrations.
In a sweet video, which features her adorable son Sonny Jude, aged three, Lucy unveils a shiny new Flymo 36V EasiHover 300 as part of a giveaway* she is hosting in partnership with the iconic heritage brand.
The star has teamed up with Flymo to share the world’s first cordless hover collect lawnmower, which she says “literally glides on air while you mow” with no wires to deal with. She also shared how lightweight, powerful and easy to use the pioneering mower is.
“No-one warns you about what happens when you turn 30,” she says.
“I used to be out, in the club, and now I’m excited about the prospect of a new lawnmower.”
Swapping her heels for wellies after leaving her 20s behind, Lucy’s relatable confession comes just weeks after she revealed the simple gardening hack she swears by to keep her lawn lush and thriving all summer. For the busy mum-of-two, whose free time is delicately balanced between her children’s hectic schedules and filming the UK’s favourite soap, finding the time to ensure her garden is a picture-perfect paradise can feel like just another overwhelming chore on an impossibly long to-do list.
Enter Flymo’s gardening guru, Michael Holden, who stepped in to share his simple yet effective gardening hack to empower her to elevate her gardening game this summer.
“As a busy mum of two little people, life can get pretty chaotic, so I’m always looking for simple ways to make things easier at home,” Lucy says.
“Little gardening tips, like getting the timing right with your first mow and avoiding scalping by only cutting a third of the blade, can make such a big difference. It helps your lawn grow stronger and healthier, meaning there’s far less upkeep required and you can just enjoy being in your garden.
“For me, my garden is an extension of my home, especially in the warmer months. When it’s looking lush and healthy, without the need for loads of demanding upkeep, it becomes the perfect place to relax with my partner, entertain our friends and family and of course, have fun with the kids.
“Flymo makes mowing an absolute breeze. Garden maintenance used to be a chore, but in a matter of minutes I can totally transform our lawn and get back to doing what I love most – playing with the kids in the garden. Preparing for a summer of gorgeous adventures has never been easier.”
