Nude Gardening

Only If It’s Brad Pitt Working In The Garden Thanks ...

Unbelievably I came upon this news article earlier today ...

Brad Pitt

"Man charged with nude gardening ... A man has gone on trial accused of gardening in the nude ... 30-year-old ... appeared in York Crown Court on Tuesday, where the court heard claims that his neighbours were shocked to see him mowing the lawn entirely naked ... 'She could see the defendant out in the garden and he wasn't wearing a stitch of clothing. He was completely naked using the lawnmower,' said Howard Shaw, prosecuting ..."

My first thought wasn’t 'how awful, fancy living next to someone who gardens in the nude' ... but rather ... how has he managed to mow his lawn in the current weather conditions?? The past few weeks in Yorkshire you’re lucky if you’re not being blown over in the hurricane force winds, deluged in the monsoon style rains ... or knocked down by a rouge wheelie bin as it sales down the street in the mild, force 10 gales ...

But back to the news story ...
the accused claims "he had merely been mowing the lawn wearing a towel when, as he tried to fix a fault with the machine, his towel slipped off ..."

Hmm ... not in Yorkshire mate ... I know we’re hardy in the north but is it ever warm enough to go in the garden just wearing a towel ...

What's the matter with the woman? Does she have a non-swivel neck? If she didn't want to see she could have turned away. For heaven's sake.

Anyway, with the temperatures what they are at the minute I doubt there'd be anything to see - surely it would have shrivelled up and gone somewhere warmer?

Still, the chap's defence sounds a bit suss - he was mowing the lawn (in January?) in a towel (mowing the lawn in a towel? In January?) and it fell off (are you having a laugh?). I think he probably did it on purpose to wind up his curtain-twitching bug-up-her-butt neighbour. And I don't blame him.

I saw this story too - you are right, it is never that warm in Yorkshire. And, certainly not in Scarborough (where he lives) I used to live there, and can attest that there is an extremely chilly sea breeze.

Lawn being cut in the rain! Will take weeks to recover, never mind the eagle eyed neighbour.
