A very quiet garden awaited us on Saturday, no lumbering Bisto, manic Shandy, or laconic Giles, just us three girls, the backbone of the work force! It was time to pot up the dahlia tubers, a boring and time consuming job but made bearable by our companionship. I often think we are like modern land army girls, we work hard but have a lot of laughs along the way. We had the task completed by lunchtime and when Lady Halena came along later she counted the pots at 192 and calculated it would have taken a single worker ten hours to achieve. There's a lot to be said for girl power!"Honest good humour is the oil and the wine of a merry meeting, and there is no jovial companionship equal to that where the jokes are rather small and laughter abundant" Washington Irving.
