    Outside sensor coach down lantern

    Hi everyone, we have had an outside down lantern at the front door since we moved in, it has been working fine all this time ,which has been approximately 5yrs. The lantern was left in the ON position at the switch and only comes on when it gets dark and off again when its light ( I believe it is called a dawn till dust lantern) then all of a sudden it only worked when the actual switch was in the OFF position and has been working like this for quite a few months. Well now its stopped all together, ive bought new bulbs ,changed them and left the light in the on position for a day to see if it came back on, then i left in the off position the one where it worked last ,but to no avail . I've also wiped the sensor on the top just in case it was dirty. I dont really want to buy a new one just yet as i think there maybe something happening with the actual light switch itself . Also as it’s an upside down lantern and they seem very hard to come by WITH a SENSOR , Thank you in adavance .

    New laid turf very patchy

    I had a new turf laid in September 2024 and did not cut the grass till November The grass was about a foot in height I hired a gardener to cut the grass first with the trimmer and then with the lawnmower Since then the turf has gone very patchy it looks as if at the patches the grass has been pressed and there is no sign of the grass growing there What is wrong with it? Can it be put right so that it looks like a nice neat proper lawn? Please advise what has to be done and how much will it cost? Thanking you in advance
