yes, our allotment bylaws state no poultry, or livestock, so I think with my chicken drumstick legs, and chicken skin hanging loose off my tummy, the council would be on at me to stop breaking the law!

I'd have to grow fur before I dared go out there without clothing... even in May! Do these folk live on a different planet?

well may 3rd here will probably be a bit chilly, but erm in summer I do tend to do the naked thing, mainly cos it is too hot to bother with clothes, but also we have no neighbours, so no chance of offending anyone.

Fire ants and chiggers prevent buff gardening in Texas. However, afterwards we get nekkid to jump in the tank to wash off the ants and chiggers. Does that count?

:oops: I confess. I did it last year. Mostly because DW swore that I wouldn't dare. But only for about 20 minutes before I decided boots and gauntlets and nothing else did look faintly rediculous. I probably won't be doing this year as we've got guests in the gîte next door. Mind you they are Dutch and the last lot we had in from the Flatlands waited about 15 seconds before whipping off their clothes and galavanting butt-naked around the pool, so I might have company.
