Next door's gardener has propositioned me.

I say hello when I see him and that's it.

Today he was working down the road at another house and flagged me down. Handed me a letter (unaddressed) which he said not to open then (was in car en route to work) and it said he thinks about me all the time & would I like to go for coffee or maybe a walk in the woods! Shock

I'm happily married. I have to tell DH don't I!

I'm sure there is a joke in there with hoeing. And making sure things stay moist. And sprinklings of Rose petals?

He's probably devastated by the rejection and sloped off to tend his hollyhocks..............

Sorry Melonbreath, well surely 'a walk in the woods' is a euphemism for some kind of sexual deviance worthy of a documentary on Channel 4? If he's a gardener he will hate woods anyway, far too unruly - probably bring his chainsaw, now that will get scary.

Well I think he was brave. It can't be easy to pluck up the courage to approach someone especially when you don't know if they are attached or not.

FR1 · 25/03/2014 08:23

He is brave.

I actually contacted my now DH via phone (his nan gave me his number!) and that's how we ended up together. I didn't ask DH's nan if DH was attached, so a similar situation although I had a strong inkling that DH fancied me.

Hearts - you have more than one gardener ?


As my mother used to say 'She have a garden big enough to lose a horse in'

Mine is tiny , you couldn't lose an ant in it Grin Envy

No doubt this will generate more dodgy double entendre but I do have a beautiful Jews Mallow absolutely covered in flowers this year.

FRI that's lovely and why not ? life is short and you gotta grab it by the horns.
My now DH was accosted approached by me first in the street (he lived opposite) and I had an excuse cause to ask him something about parking. We hit it off straight away chatting and a few days later he left a note under my windscreen with his phone number and rest is history.
I told my DH about this thread and his first reaction was 'Ah, I feel sorry for him , poor bugger , he probably just likes her and doesn't know she's married'
As the saying goes 'Faint heart ne'er won fair lady' (or whatever)

For some reason I immediately visualised the tool shed violently rocking from side to side. Grin

Also, even worse FRI , my DH is part Jewish so I have my very own Jews mallow to play with
