Episode 55: Fatherly advice
Michal: Hello, I've been sent to take you. Dad: I can't get a minute's peace around here! Michal: No wonders you love it here, your garden's beautiful. Dad: Thank you Michal. Just my luck though, neither Helen nor her mother has green fingers. Michal: I love gardening! Dad: I knew I liked you for a reason! Helen's head is filled with love and romance but I am more of a realist. I've built up my business and my garden the same way - years of hard graft. Helen's looking for a handsome husband but I want a hard-working son-in-law. Of course it will be a slog but the rewards are right here for you to see. Michal: Eh, yeah, it must be time for tea! Let's talk later.
