    me too tbh but I really do think if private it would be fun!!

    @Hostafan1
    i think it does count!! You need some non slip footwear while watering!!

    @GWRS
    I was hoping for nice weather this bank holiday!! I love how busy the garden is getting and the first May Day bank holiday is one of my favourite times of the year!! Just simply because the whole garden seems to suddenly become ALIVE!!

    @philippa smith2

    The forecast for tomorrow is 11C so not nearly warm enough for me.

    It does seem odd to set naked gardening day to one of the cooler periods of the year. Obviously wasn't a bloke who had that idea :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I might have a quick strip down in the poly tunnel as I fiddle with my cucumber and tomato's, it's warmer in there  >:)

    maybe it's too risky to "get your bits out" when it's hotter?

    Some of the men at my allotment were very nearly naked last year in the heat! Fair play to them but sometimes a bit tricky knowing where to look when they were advising me ( unsolicited advice) on what to do with my plot!!
    Not sure what they were wearing but it needed ironing!

    Have you heard of the naked gardeners? A couple who owned a beautiful house  and made a fantastic garden which they opened to the public and had naked garden days. Unfortunately he liked women too much and she filed for divorce.

    The last I heard was that it's still on the market and Ian and Barbara are still there they made a beautiful job of the restoration Ian originally being an historical architect by profession. The gardens are also very beautiful and we have visited many times over the years.

    Well, we're quite sheltered at the back ... the folks behind have put up a shed so they can't see us ... don't think the folks up from us can see over their fence and chap the other side died a few months ago so ... we are on the 'flight path' for the Air Ambulance as it leaves the main roads and heads for the hospital ... but they'll have 'seen it all before' ..........

    .... but if the weather's chilly I'll probably be in the studio ...

    Oh! Dove, I can just imagine that😀

    My OH likes a bit of naked, right up to when he got a tick in an embarrassing place, had to go to hospital in the end as it had turned sceptic, being local nurses, laid back and always laughing, you can imagine what she did as she said ‘drop your pants’,  she couldn’t help laughing.😀
