As a working mum\u00a0with three children, an old farmhouse that’s\u00a0in a constant state of renovation,\u00a0a Scout group leader and a gardener, I face a constant battle with time management. Life can be a rollercoaster and trying to\u00a0keep a\u00a0balance a struggle at times –\u00a0whether it’s washing, cleaning, cooking,\u00a0typing, sewing, homework\u00a0or helping\u00a0whichever family or group member\u00a0is shouting out the loudest.<\/p>\n
Needless to say our house isn’t spick and span, the kids watch more\u00a0TV than I’m comfortable with, the kitchen door\u00a0remains unpainted after four years of adding filler to it, I regularly serve up omelets and oven chips,\u00a0my filing hasn’t been sorted and put away\u00a0for months and\u00a0the weeds are growing in my veg beds.<\/p>\n
So it’s with a\u00a0massive sense of\u00a0delight and relief when I finally tick off one of the jobs that’s been taking up head space…. and this weekend it was the polytunnel.<\/p>\n
