I have only recently joined this happy band and as I said I love gardening and have had quite a few gardens over the years plus two which we did from scratch on half acre plots. We grew everything from flowers, veg, greenhouse plus my other half loved his lawns.
We actually do not live in a house at present as we have taken early retirement and are travelling in our motorhome for a number of years. I still help with gardening when I can at friends n family homes.
So as I speak I am sat in sunny Spain with my collection of pot plants.
I hope I will still be welcome and look forward to joining in.

Hello squirel It must be interesting travelling in your van. Maybe you could show us some photos of the gardens and plants you see on your journey

Can't be us Ziggy as been living this lifestyle for coming up to two years now. Believe you me there are so many doing this now especially the Brits, Germans, Belgiums, Dutch and French and noticing more and more Swiss. Its a wonderful way to spend retirement though ẃe still miss our garden.

My sister-in-law has friends who are doing the same thing as well, she mentioned it when we were discussing making the most of retirement & not worrying about the future, sounds like it's working for you squirel. |
