Gardening that is
i've only be at it for under 18 months
but at any given time, i can look at ANY part of my garden and i have jobs to do!!!
planting, weeding, lifting, tying back things, cutting grass, lifting sacks, planning beds, putting up fences on and on and on and on
when do i get to sit back and enjoy this "good life?"
-
You ARE enjoying it - aren't you? If you aren't - vee huv vays of making you enjoy ;) ;) ;)
-
Unless you give in to nature - never ;D ;D ;D
She comes back and messes it up all the blooming (pun intended) time ;D ;D
Then, just as you get it perfect, and go on hols - she sends rain and sun and more rain,
and its all to do again on your return
The only break a Gardener gets - is plenty of Tea breaks ;D ;D ;D
You love it really though :bouquet:

Well, its cheaper than Weight Watchers - they're £5 a week! ;) ;D ;D ;D

I love being in to garden and see loads to do but our B&B takes priority so I don't get out for as long as I want, I get frustrated by the fact I darn't get dirty as I have washing, irong and cleaning to do and grubby fingers serving breakfast is not professiiiiiiiii ;D

What you need is
1. Posh silk headscarf for covering your hair
2. Long old but smart looking coat for gardening in (Oxfam shops - Camel coloured)
3. Pair of girly gardening gloves to match coat and scarf.
Then not only will you keep clean, but you will look professional, and still have the
lady of the manor look for approaching guests - even though you are gardening
( A bit like "To the Manor Born type image - you get the picture ;D ;D)

Not good for Business - but funny

I ordered matching outfit my Logo on for doing stuff around the house, black jogging bottoms and black polo shirt, long sleeved and black apron, it all looked great until
1, the jogging bottoms shrunk so now look like a part of a clown outfit, although must say they are less dangerous for going upstairs in and I usually stand on my turnips.
2, the string on the waist has pulled out so the also fall down all the time, I have to hoist them up quickly before I make the long journey from the kitchen to the dinning room with hot plates, if I don't go fast they end up hipsters but my apron covers a lot of pant!!!
3 the bottoms are also bleach splashed so look a bit tie dyed, not too good a look.
4, my top got the bleach this morning when I put some in the sink, my boob part dropped in, I didn't notice until I looked in the mirror, so now I have one Orange side to my top, like I have been breast feeding someone Irun Brew!!!
5, lastly I have a small hole in my jogging bottom bottom, when I bend down to feed the chickens, one of them always things it's something tasty!!!!!
New outfit required...must go out to the charity shops like you suggest>> ;D
-
P.S
6. I lost my 2 best Bras..hence the boob in the sink!!!!
-
;D ;D ;D ;D
Poor Turnips - are you serving them for dinner after standing on them??
;D ;D ;D ;D

The guest comming for the wedding came at 12.00, I only just put my jeans on, the ones with the slippery fly.....I was very tempted to say, "gentlemen up the stairs first" why? well they had on thier kilts!!! BIG men they were, and me with my curler in ;D ;D, by the way, I went up first ;D ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
poor Chris, having to deal with you mad lot ;D ;D ;D
but honestly - it doesn't end. I learned to love the process of improving it, having given up the notion of civilized lunch in a lovely garden long ago...If the sun's shining I do take a book and a cuppa to sit on the bench for 10 seconds. Sometimes I do get absorbed just standing there and staring at my veg beds, if someone was watching they'd think I'm looney! But I'm working, planning what's to be done next.... Just now I have more cleaned beds than plants to go out, my mum was here helping, lol :&>
-
I tend to go out to do something and end up doing odd jobs althoug my garden is pretty easy to maintain...
-
Just do not go out tonite in those joggers with the hole in, cause them men in
kilts might be peckin it instead of those chickens
ps think your great to be up still when you've all those fry ups to do for the wedding guests
in the morning ;D
