Ahh, lovely memories to have Aidy. We’ve just had hubby’s nephew over this morning with his 2 children, I’ve not seen them for a long time & don’t really know them well. Just before they left(short visit of hours🙄) the little girl(6rs) said “actually my mummy never plays with me,or my daddy” how sad is that. I was so pleased I put in a few hours of my time chatting to them(well watching what she was up to,the lad was fine) colouring with them, making a paper star. Trouble is I think they’ll want to come back. Our son has said nephew(his cousin) just turns up & leaves the children to get on with it then of course they get into mischief.
Back to your post Aidy, although I never gardened with my dad I always feel he’s at the plot with me either raising his eyebrows or saying humph I’d have never thought of that or aye lass what yer doing it like that for.
