Why is it.........??

When having worked really hard this year to have a garden of sorts, I come home from a 10 hour day looking forward to a cup of tea and a quick fag sitting on the bench in my garden and relaxing.
No chance, I see this needs doing, that needs doing, oh I must move that, then I start doing this and that, tea goes cold, don’t get to have my fag and as for relaxing no way.
Is it just me or do others find it hard just to sit and chill in their gardens without looking for jobs that need doing etc.

Hi chris, I´m exactly the same, I don´t have time to sit down and enjoy my garden, I always see things to do, even when I do take a few minutes off to have a coffee I see this that and the other and am off again....but I do enjoy doing it!.

I make myself - but I do switch off from the stresses of my business when I potter around in the garden - it is my escapism and better than housework lol.

Pottering is my relaxation. The hard work in the garden comes under keep fit and walking round the garden at the end of the day with a glass of wine is heaven!! :o)))

LOL Kfun!!!!! Brilliant job! I was hoping that was the case but so relieved you have clarified :)

I always promise myself 'right, today I'm going to sit and enjoy it'. Is that a pig I just saw flying by? And I agree with Kfunsters, it beats ironing!

I can sit in my garden - for about half a minuit lol - then I've got to be doing something. I can only properly relaxe when I'm doing something. Just sitting doing nothing makes me feel wound up.
