I'll definitely tell her about this method, it had slipped my mind.
She may not have the time though, as she is a qualified doctor, is
renovating a old farmhouse with 4 acres, breeds "old-fashioned"
bulldogs - the ones with straight legs, a longer nose so they can
breathe, and are self-whelping i.e. do not need a caesarian plus she
speaks 4 languages and occasionally makes herself useful as an
interpreter. I guess rushing out to plant some seeds when she had a
bit of time and the temperature was above freezing is typical of a
non-educated German that knows she has a whole packet and can always
ask me to send another ;-))

That non-educated bit has me confused(not difficult) even after reading a
few times!



"Contrary to common opinion in this country all German are not super
human/super educated.
But I'm sure she has a lovely nature. :-)"


I hope she does not read this.
This is a woman I met on a poultry group and when my mother was found dead
in 03 she came over to help me. I said no, but she came anyway. On a coach
from Germany as she is afraid of flying.
So yes, I guess we can say she has a lovely nature.
