Richard - thanks. But you've put me on the spot.
'Proud'? It was a generalisation, referring more to others, rather than myself. And strictly as an encouragement pour les autres. Trying to show that a lifetime of dabbling, on & off, doesn't mean God!
For the last 1/2 hour, I've been trying to think of anything of which I am 'proud'. 'Excessive self esteem' - no! 'Much pleased' - yes - but mainly with what the children have achieved. It may be a sad & cynical attitude but although, after all these years, I still get enormous satisfaction from the soil, I tend to see more weeds than fruit! And still experiment to do better 'next year'.
So - where does that get us? And have I answered your question?? = Tim
