I don't consider my self greedy in respect of most things, but I would really appreciate any of the following.
Another few hours ( say ten ) per day- this would be most helpful, enabling me to complete a few more jobs. Amongst the most pressing are time to write my blog, keep in touch with good friends, pick more soft fruit, do a bit of house work ( not too much time needed for this), tackle all the weeds, ( I am beginning to wonder whether the previous owners spread them all around deliberately ),file and catalogue all my photos, finish my patchwork quilt. I guess you get the idea...... I feel very lucky to have so many things to be excited about.
A spare arm and hand to throw the ball for Ruby would save me an aching elbow and make my work in the garden a little more productive.
Obediant chickens , that did not view any new planting as a Macdonalds for chickens. I am sure they know what they should not eat, we have caught them sneaking into the poly tunnel, grabbing a mouth ful of lettuce and making a mad dash for the door.
A cake baking fairy would be useful.. I think I will bake loafs and cakes and freeze them so that you can all be impressed when you come to visit and get home baked cake( if David and I dont eat them all )
A washing up fairy to help the cake fairy would be great.... made be we could have a colony of helpful fairies living in the rather beautiful all piggery, guess we would have to change the name to the fairy glen, cant imagine that fairies would like to give thier address as The Piggery, Llaingof.
Back to my favorite subject... a man to finish the fencing and gates.... there must have been an epidemic of deaths in South Wales as Brian the grave digger/fencing man has not been seem for weeks... Grrrrrr.
Somebody or something else for the horse fly sort beasties to bite.
A garden expert who could identify all the beautiful flowers in the garden, most of which I have never seen.I think the solution to the problem might be to take photos of all the flowers and then in the winter I can look through the books and identify them. A garden helper for a couple of days would be great. There are huge clumps of perinneals which need splitting, but time is short and we seem to be in the veggie garden all the time.
I need more will power to stop myself eating the peas as I am shelling them. Seem to start off with a huge bowl of peas to shell, and at the end of the exercise all have to show for my efforts might be two handfuld of peas and a full tummy. Then it seems a pity to dirty a pot for such a small amount of peas, so I eat them as well. ( Piggy )
Someone to help with picking, washing and sorting all the fruit before I freeze it. ( sounds like a job for another fairy.... maybe for the fruity tuity fairy ) We are still picking black currants, have about 12kg in the deep freeze and probably still another simular amount to pick . I enjoy picking the friut, tend to do it in the evening after dinner. It is so beautiful and peaceful outside, and the heat of the day has passed.
Maybe the fruity Tuity Fairy could help remove sticky labels from jam jars in her spare time. I think the manufacturers of goodies in bottles should be made to use water soluable glue only.
All sounds like a lot to want, so maybe i am more greedy than I thought.
