  • A slave to money then you die! That’s the bittersweet symphony of life!?

I work to live, it also helps that I love what I do. Crete has ticked a lots of boxes. They live life outside and I have been inspired by their courtyard gardens making the most of small spaces, tight streets, and their love of food and plants. The people are kind and generous and I’m going full greek food diet when I get back. 

Why does the UK food taste so bad in comparison to the rest of Europe? I’m British through and through and hate coming back from holiday to the same food ingredients tasting of nothing! I know I’m not wrong…?

See you soon Greece! 😍💙🇬🇷

  • Working smarter, not harder! The farm jack is the single most useful £100 we’ve spent! Get a decent ratchet strap too and you’re away! 

I was sceptical seeing videos of it being used online with easy extractions on soil but trust me the current job we are on is a concrete jungle and this works stupidly well! The secrets out! Go get yours…we got ours from @machinemartuk
