Title: Naked gardening day
Post by: Borlotti on May 08, 2010, 18:23:31
Did anyone know or care that the first Saturday in May is naked gardening day.  A bit cold for that today, kept my coat well on.  Well it is on the internet so must be true.  ;) ;)

Drat I missed it.....but I need to borrow a garden next year, mines overlooked by the neighbours and the allotment has an almost right of way though it.....

Isn't there a garden in Cornwall that has naturist days, Abbey Gardens or some thing like that?

You may be thinking of Abbey House Gardens at Malmesbury in Wiltshire where the owners Ian and Barbara Pollard are known as the Naked Gardeners.

Is this Naked Gardening to be taken literally. As in, people gardening in the buff?

This morning I was gardening with two jumpers and a cardigan on. Granted the sky cleared and I gradually stripped off the cardigan then one jumper but did not feel enclined to take off any more.

Within minutes, we sat down for a well deserved brew of tea and the sun went under a cloud and the cardie went back on.

I delight in stripping off to shorts and a strappy top (with a respectable brassiere underneath)  but that is not because I want to expose my body. It is to keep cool.

Oh how I wish I had the urge to keep cool more often

Oh s...t, wondered why I was the only one naked at the allotment today.  ;D ;D ;D. I blame it on age old or whatever, was hoping to get a quick look at Manuel.  ;D ;D
