My Man, Alan, admits to not knowing a weed from a flower, so he never risks messing with my plants. However he does an amazing amount of work in the time we have together and I get full value. I don't think I could manage without him now. This year's growth has been phenomenal compared to last year when everything was slow and late.
OL - didn't mean you were trouble Just take me with you to see James Blunt and I'll say nothing. My cousin Susan was Julian, I was Anne and we made John be George.
Woodgreen is indeed a very lovely village... not over chocolate boxy, nor a dormitory for weekenders, but a real lived-in community. I may have said before we built our own Community Shop, have a lovely village hall with it's unique wall painted murals, done in the 1930s showing actual villagers and events of the time. If you google woodgreenvillage. news, or woodgreen shop, or hall you will get a flavour of what we are about. For example one villager runs a garden party each year, for charity, and she calls it "the never again party" This year 4 to 500 people tuned up!!!!! Also the shop employs 14 local staff, plus lots of volunteers and a has a management committee of various skills.
All of this within the boundary of the New Forest, at the northern end which is much the prettiest, but which the visitors seem to overlook. I could go on but....
I would love to live somewhere like that, but as they say life is what you make it, even tho i live just outside wolverhampton, i know all my neighbours, the shops and the doc is at the end of the road, sometimes its a struggle to get anywhere as people stop and chat so much!
My nextdoor neighbour has a magic doorstep! - i put rhubarb on it and it magically turns into a crumble!
