Most people already do jobs for free
What job would you do for free? Now, don’t get me wrong, lots of men do the cooking and cleaning. My dad is an amazing cook and was always tidy. However, the majority of women still work and do the cooking and cleaning. I am only talking about people in couples. That’s a sad fact.…

If only gardening was an Olympic sport?
What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most? We don’t watch a lot of sport in this house. Maybe the World Cup in football and rugby. Maybe some of the Winter Olympics but we don’t go out of our way. We just don’t care for sports. But gardening, I love seeing gardens develop. I…

listening is a skill and every body just wants to be heard
What’s something most people don’t understand? Working in retail and now with local government I have spoken to hundreds of people in my life time.

My main goals are gardening
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? So when I make plans to garden and they are interrupted with friends events then I just make sure that I get up earlier to achieve what I want to. I like to say no a lot. Especially if it’s it’s…
