  • What we all like doing in the garden!

    I listened while planting my sunflower & sweet pea seeds - loved hearing the wonderful conversation between Jo and Richard. I also LOVE weeding and also mowing the lawn - I started doing this when I first met my now late great husband Rob as he struggled with a fly mow attached to his wheelchair (he was paralysed in a motorsport accident). I get the same satisfaction. Thanks for making this podcast. I will be back xx🌻🧡🪴
