Boy, four, obsessed with lawn mowers

A boy from Cornwall is shunning trips to the toy shop in favour of regular DIY store visits to indulge his growing obsession with lawn mowers.

Samuel Buswell,four, began showing an interest in the machines a year ago.

Now every Saturday he insists on visiting B&Q at Penryn where he knows every detail of the mowers on sale.



"He can look at the display and can instantly tell which mowers are missing and have been sold and which are new," said his mother Natalie. "He frequently has customers standing watching in amazement as he explains what each machine can do."

He also insists on picking up a new brochure each week so he can keep up to date with any changes in the range.

For his fourth birthday Samuel's parents even bought him a proper rotary mower, which he now uses most days to cut the lawn at their home in Falmouth.
