When I went to stay at my best friend's house in the school holidays, one of my treats was weeding the vegetable patch. It was one of her chores, but I couldn't think of anything better than sitting out in the sun, talking to her (and occasionally her Mum, who would drop by and do and bit) and doing something where you could really see an effect.
I'm sure L did it on gloomy days and damp days too, I just remember the sun.
I think it was also partly to do with the fact they were growing fresh food. I learned to like many vegetables there, especially mange tout, which still taste like freedom to me. L cooked a lot too, because of the hours her parents worked, and I envied her. Funny, I didn't realise that until my post about. No wonder I loved going there!
FTR - ham pie was awesome, had a slice for breakfast.
