Welsh gardening!

I've build my first bonfire, all by myself, used a motor mower and pushed it up and down a very lumpy lawn and pruned 'til my right hand was sore.

I've even been setting up a log fire in our wood burning stove, and kept it going all evening, and goodness me, what a pleasure that was.

I've even sawn up logs and branches, big and small, carted them into the house, cleared away the debris from the previous evening's fire, and got another one going.

So, we've had the management training weekends for managers and the like, I could now run weekend courses for folk who just want to do the things, the little things of life which, somehow, they never quite managed to do!

I can remember my grandmother and mother and an aunt making up coal fires, even holding up a broadsheet paper spread against the fire surround, to get a lazy fire to catch and burn, seen a coal merchant deliver sacks of coal and even known of  a family member - who used to love eating coal!

Folks are funny hey???
