Once I had A Garden

[dipsydoodle]

13. Garden ?

We use different expressions across the Atalantic. What you refer to as the front or back yards in the UK we refer to as gardens.

Some years ago a friend from NC was passing through and he stayed for the weekend. We were sitting in the back garden on the Sunday morning eating breakfast and as he looked around I asked how big his garden was. He smiled and said "I think I know what you're asking - 45 acres"

I asked him at a later date if he'd still got the 45 acres and he said "No - its 90 acres now"
