Hello from a newbie and like minded member
Watch this postMy first post to introduce myself - I live in the countryside and enjoy gardening especially the days when the sun is shining and I can enjoy a well earned glass of chilled wine looking at the blooms.
My husband does the boring jobs (in my view) of cutting the grass and growing the vegetables whilst I plant and weed the flower beds. But I must say it does involve an awful lot of weeding I have always worked in admin and finance and eventually qualified as an accountant about 10 years ago.
I enjoy the work and have a great balance because I only work part-time so have plenty of spare time. Three years ago we had a wake-up call and decided to make the most of our "golden years". We went on a fabulous trip to Australia which was somewhere I'd always wanted to visit. Then a six week tour of Scotland two years ago, visiting beautiful Northumberland, on the way and a similar tour of Ireland last year.
Looking forward to joining in with the group chatter
