It's not easy being green...

[charliegreensmum]

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

Anyone else see this on BBC2 tonight?

yeah, all i could think of was the psuedo-hippy throwback wifey should try really roughing it - wwaaaa! no bath for a fortnight. my heart bleeds. NOT.

oh i know! yes we're sooooooooo green with our bloody dishwasher, power tools and low-flush wc's!

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.

did you see the man on grand designs who built his house completely out of wood from the forest he lived in? now THAT was green!

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.

it was lovely wasn't it? did you see the update one where they went back and he had got a wife and a baby? and his garden was just beautiful

no, i didn't see the update! but he was just my type and i found him amazingly sexy. oooooo. imagine waking up to THAT stoking up the camp stove and bringing a chai tea to your sleeping bag.

mmmmmmmm.

lol! i would LOVE to live like that

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. :)

now why aren't there more men like that?

there are if you're a rock climber. :)

hmmmmmmmmm... i do need a hobby...
