I'm 26 years of age and have been a self-employed gardener for five years now. Listening to your episode about Chattopix Towers crumbling down. that then turned into a lovely chat about going back to gardening. It struck a chord with me. I live on the Isle of Man and mainly work on properties around two to six acres.

I do also fit in those in and out jobs that top up the weekly takings nicely. I have annual customers that keep me busy through the winter months, but mainly work March to December, taking January and February slow. I recently got a puppy. Dougie comes to work with me three days a week and is loving it so far. It's nice to have a companion from time to time. It's true what you say.

384.733 - 397.48 David

Keep up the pod as it always puts a smile on my face. I dread to think how many customers have watched me grin from ear to ear at your pub jokes. I'm sure this email won't get read for another three years. If ever you want a correspondent from the Isle of Man, let me know.
