The Good Life?

By HobbitDave
A neighbours garden, reminds me a bit of the TV sitcom The Good Life. It works very well for them. Onions hanging to dry, a big poly tunnel and veg garden growing most of their own veges, various grandchildren and friends stay when possible, toys and swing and orange rocker in the garden. They used to have beehives down the road. Chickens in the garden, including Beady the cockerel who has been on EPZ. And a cat. Some good ideas for times right now perhaps.

Don't think those onions will be drying today! ☔ Does bring back memories of 'The Good Life', when we had proper sitcoms on TV 😃👍

So true Trev, Father Ted, Arkwright, so many more, and they were genuinely funny. But folk still buy these golden oldies today, or if they’re ‘modern’ they watch them on Netflix or similar 👍🙂

I farmed for 28 years but figuring out the soil, climate and enemies in Costa Rica has been a challenge.. But there is something very calming about a garden. It's nice to be nurturing something.

Those were the day's, when sitcoms were funny and Tv was entertaining!

Good for them! I did see the Good Life for a brief time when the BBC let our public channel show their wonderful old comedy series.

It seems that they have the right idea for current, crazy times.

Nature does not always like a pristine garden. The benefits of growing your own are not just the organic veg etc but the calming effect it has on you to be close to the earth. Nice to see beadys home. I remember the good life on T.V. Dave. Wonder if inspired any folks to try it. Debs
