    Sounds like you've got your hands full Ratty. Good luck with it. I like the sound of the walled garden - I would love to have a go at something like that

              Wednesdays sound especially exciting (if challenging!). I'm really pleased you've got so much on but I do hope you get at least five minutes to yourself here and there
              I was feeling part of the scenery
              I walked right out of the machinery

                If anyone deserves it, you do, Rat. You work hard for yourself and your family, and hard graft always pays off.

                Don't forget the family though. Best of luck with it.

                  I remember you saying how you were going to stop full time growing and enjoy spending more time with the family.
                  Seems to have worked out just the way you planned???

                      Well no one can accuse you of putting 'all your eggs in one basket' If for whatever reason you lose ANY one of your jobs you've still got plenty to keep you going.

                      Well done and good luck for the future rat!

                              Sounds like you've got a full & happy life, the walled garden job sounds intersting, let us know what you find in there.
