Not sure there is one, however, i think i've got about as close as you can get.

 

Started to put up a new fence for a young couple yesterday, on arrival i found he'd started doing groundwork, & everything was clear for me to start, impressive !, then his wife made me a cup of tea.

The guy laboured for me & worked well, then at half 10, his wife brought out more tea & bacon rolls, at 12 more tea + cakes, then at 2, his mum turned up with a big tray of home made cakes !.

 

Went back today just to finish off, & got more tea + cakes, the guy still wanted to work, & they've asked me to go back & cut the hedge !.

Did a weeks' work for a lady who lived in a beautiful house on the banks of the Wye.

 

Each day she supplied breakfast and a cooked meal at the kitchen table. Put the food on the table and left us to it.

 

On another occasion we worked for the top man of a TV channel. He had a country house in Norfolk which he let us stay in whilst we did the job. His housekeeper met us, showed us where everything was and left us for three days.
