Gardeners
The great thing about being married to a passionate gardener is they tend to be passionate about other things too. Being great with one's hands in one sphere of life tends to being great with said hands in other areas. And all Eileen is saying here is she has no complaints.
Television
Eileen found out early on that there's nothing worth watching except the wildlife programmes and historical documentaries. She welcomes the measured tones of David Attenborough and is slowly getting over her tendency to distrust any commentary (this is thanks to the Kingdom's commentaries being carried out by Roherum for whom no exaggeration is ever too much).
Books
Eileen loves reading - history, humour and crime. In her old world in the Fairy Kingdom, she made history, was not renowned for humour and had a tremendous crime clear up rate. She is only too glad to be living a quieter life with no dragons anywhere...
