It is a realy shame that we don't live closer. We could be hermits together! I dare anyone of them to work with "her" for 7 years and then have someone tell them it wasn't work!

If you like staying at home and working in the garden and it mkaes you happy then I wouldn't worry about it. After knowing you for so long I can't blame you for wanting to relax. You deserve to have some quiet time!
