Applications and Strawberries


I have put this blog down on my CV! Under “other interests.” Hopefully they will see the clear link between being an editorial assistant and gardening. And if not, then Marg and I are going to have to start up our dream of a smallholding with a goat and an Airedale terrier. (Marg’s choice) Well, I think this is more my fantasy than “our dream” but hopefully Marg will be won over by what an awesome thing it would be to aim for when we visit the Gardener’s World Show on Friday 13th at the NEC! (No comment on the date) We’re going to track down Monty Don and buy some amazing gadgets for the garden (not to mention the plants!) Both of us are getting the train so we will be restricted by what we can physically carry back. Although trips to Morrisons in final year at University never stopped us!

I just want a job that I enjoy. To be my own boss would be the best. I have entered the Bridport novel competition with my YA novel and a short story. I’ll write, Marg can work on her sewing/crotchet and we can grow vegetables- the dream will be lived! Tom and Barbara Good had the right idea. Vegetable producers of the future- watch out! This could be the beginning. And in the film version of this story Carey Mulligan would play me and Marg wants to be played by Karen Gillan. So casting is sorted and I just have to remember to water my strawberries…
(Any suggestions on a name for our vegetable business? Or what to call the goat? Pop in the comments!) 
“About bloody time” said the tomato plants.

Happy strawberries with new, well drained soil.


Skills.
