Apparently I am the only one in the house who is excited about caterpillars. I was blown away at how fast those little caterpillars grew to twice their size in just a few days! WOW! HOLY COW! My baby bassets reaction was less enthusiastic… hmm, nice. What do you mean hmm nice? It’s AMAZING! To be fair they gave me the same reaction I give them when they tell me about the new level they just got to in a video game. They are more excited when they reach a new level in whatever game they are playing then they are in seeing the cycle of life that is happening right before their eyes. Apparently, caterpillars should come with more explosions and fireworks. I could also just glue little hats on them and to make them more appealing, or possibly racing stripes…rockets?

Lori Ann Stephens

Not long after Adelle, a bitter widow, recognizes a remarkable friendship developing with her two young neighbors, one of them moves away. As Rebecca and Helen mature, they turn from their devoted friendship in search of romantic love, finding more questions than answers to their place in this world.

The Export Gardener: An Amusing, Comical Memoir from a Ham-Fisted Australian who starts a Gardening Business in the UK
Richard Harrison
Genre: Humor & Entertainment | Business & Money
FREE for a limited time
Tasked with bringing an iconic Australian gardening franchise to the United Kingdom, Richard Harrison arrives in the medieval market town of Sevenoaks in Kent not knowing a weed from a wisteria. His subsequent adventures are a rollercoaster of laughs and tears, from cutting down the wrong tree and solving a seemingly impossible watering puzzle to the bombshell that ended it all. The Export Gardener is an amusing, comical, laugh out loud memoir from a clumsy, yet entrepreneurial Australian who travels to England to launch the iconic Australian gardening franchise Jim’s Mowing. How hard could it be? If you have ever wanted to start a business or you simply enjoy tending to your own garden, you are sure to be entertained by The Export Gardener and the author’s hilarious recollections and adventures. He falls in the odd pond, crashes his van (more than once) and discovers that stinging nettles and shorts are not a good mix, all while working weekends at various London Farmers’ Markets and trying his hand at cricket umpiring and playing again after a twenty year absence from the game.
The Export Gardener is the tale of a fish out of water. An enthusiastic and driven Australian steps out of his comfort zone and sets out to build a network of franchises across the country, all by starting and operating his own business in the Garden of England itself. This book is as inspiring and motivating as it is entertaining and funny. Join The Export Gardener as he introduces us to Mad Annie Marsh and Nasty Mrs. Phillips. Laugh as he cooks and eats his first and only haggis. Revel in the triumph of resurrecting Stephanie Beattie’s wisteria and cringe as a teenage school girl falls asleep during his presentation at Tonbridge Girls Grammar. Come along on a pheasant shoot and delight in the peace and tranquillity of the delightful village cricket grounds that litter England’s south east before other events conspire to spiral things out of control and the real drama begins. Amusing, heart warming and charming is how many people have summed up The Export Gardener. It is a high yield crop of laughter and tears and the funniest book you will read this year.
