Over her long career, Mary Keen has created some of the finest gardens in England. But rather than tell the story of those paradises, this is the diary about everyday watchfulness in the places Mary loves best - her own back garden and allotment nearby. As the diary records the ordinary, the ephemeral and the horticulturally useful, in a patchwork of life and tasks, we also witness the little dramas in the village where she lives and meet her family and friends who are an integral part of her gardening community.

Cette histoire, c'est celle que j'ai vécu avec mon épouse. Celle d'un créateur d'entreprise motivé, compétent dans bien des domaines, bien préparé, conscient des difficultés et prêt à les relever. Grâce à ça, nous avons conçu des services efficaces, trouvé des clients, répondu à leur attente, et nous avons réussi financièrement en partant de zéro. En revanche, rien n'aurait pu nous prémunir de l'hypertrophie législative, des délires du droit du travail, et de l'assommoir fiscal. C'est cette histoire que je vous raconte, pleine d'anecdotes parfois si aberrantes qu'elles en deviennent amusantes.

Seneca három Vigasztalása , consolációja az ókori vigasztalásirodalom legérettebb alkotása. Az első egy asszonyhoz szól, aki elvesztette fiát, a második az író egy barátjához, aki testvérét siratja, a harmadikat pedig édesanyjához írta Seneca korzikai száműzetéséből.
