Not sure why this warrants an article written about it, but I snickered at the title.

From New Zealand
quote:


A gardener got so fed up with his wife's nagging he ran away from home and lived in the woods for ten years.

Malcolm Applegate, 62, was married to his wife for three years before upping sticks after the relationship reached breaking point.

quote:


He secretly left his family home when increased working hours angered his wife, but the gardener has now told how he emerged from hiding.

After leaving, Malcolm camped in "thick woodland" near Kingston, south west London, while working on gardens at a community centre for the elderly.

He said: "There were three of us camping.

"They were just camping around with me because at the time I was working in the centre and we used to go there for a wash and a shower.

Ole baw just picked em poorly.

If 3 yrs of marriage is literally making you head for the hills, then you suck at picking a woman.

Would I flee the most insufferable woman at 62 for the forest giving no fricks? Sherwood.

In some ways, a modern day Rip Van Winkle.
