Somewhere to sit and do nthing but read a book, watch a film and eat!! I've have only flown to go on holiday, never for work which I imagine must be very different. xxDebra in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043535993839224545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541323126163189730.post-90092539693872033142008-04-19T10:06:00.000+02:002008-04-19T10:06:00.000+02:00Oh my goodness - sounds like a really hard job!

I don't particularly like the weeding bit although Ilike the finished results, and I really dont like the rotovating and raking bit!!!Debra in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043535993839224545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541323126163189730.post-91533573404741972622008-04-18T16:10:00.000+02:002008-04-18T16:10:00.000+02:00Gardening is very hard work at times, especially t...Gardening is very hard work at times, especially the sort that you are doing. You really appreciate that drink when you stop for it, though, don't you? I'm never really sure whether I enjoy gardening, or just the results.Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541323126163189730.post-53170440655240841592008-04-18T14:23:00.000+02:002008-04-18T14:23:00.000+02:00Hi Billy, I love gardening, but have to finally ad...Hi Billy, I love gardening, but have to finally admit that I am not really fit enough for all this 'heavy' stuff. When we came to France I set up doing garden maintenance, not really realising that everyone here has at least an acre! I only had a tiny garden in the UK, but it was stuffed full of plants.<BR/>How naive I was to think I could match Charlie Dimmock! Mind you, OH says I do in some ways!!<BR/><BR/>Hi Hazel, I ache all over, and I can certainly empathize with you diging holes with a pick axe! Glad you are having a lovely time, but it is always nice to get back home. Lots of love to you all Debra xxDebra in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043535993839224545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541323126163189730.post-14990825213588379352008-04-18T12:45:00.000+02:002008-04-18T12:45:00.000+02:00Hello, wow what a few days you have had, I certain...Hello, wow what a few days you have had, I certainly don't envy your raking job. I thought I was bad enough having to plant my fruit trees with a pick axe because the ground was so hard! At least that didn't last for days, though very hard at the time and you end the day saying, "I didn't know I had muscles there" Enjoying my time in the UK with my family, but really missing being home. You just can't please some people can you?<BR/>Take care<BR/>Luv Hazel xxxxxLiving the Dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15939159453870412595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541323126163189730.post-43030839560535193022008-04-18T10:19:00.000+02:002008-04-18T10:19:00.000+02:00debs, I have never liked gardening, probably becau...debs, I have never liked gardening, probably because my old man had me in ours every day, weeding and 'turning over' when he came back from the war. My hands were permanently blistered but I was young (15) and I wouldn't now accuse him of being unfair to me. <BR/><BR/>However, Your post has finally removed any lingering doubt or regret I may have been nurturing.<BR/> <BR/>I hate it, for sure. ;-)Stinking Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577508577062044906noreply@blogger.com
