... particularly when you can't afford a half million pound farmhouse in Cornwall!

Anyone else see this on BBC2 tonight?

i'm too poor to be that green.

that wifey reminded me of someone i know. and laugh at behind her back :o.

i'd probably have been one of the hired hands they showed - not the kids' mates, no, one of the real plebs.

i thought about him immediately! his house was SO wicked. he'd lived in that tent and caravan for YEARS building it.

yeah, he was the real McCoy.

he reminded me of a climbing partner i had who was just dreamy. he was gentle, yet amazingly strong, lived by his principles . . . and made a lovely chai tea. :)
