Grew up in a village called Paddock Wood
Now live in a street with the same name as a serial killer...

Not sure what that proves!

Jools Holland did a short TV series called Beat Route - it was AGES ago, but the couple I saw were rather good. Think they were all looking at the origins/development of modern music.

I have never lived anywhere that didn't have Farm in the address.  I was born in a Farm Cottage, then I lived on a Farm, then I moved to the suburbs and the name of the estate I live on is Farm! ... ta dah!!  And my office is at Parklands ...

I live in Camden Town, but if I moved across the road to the posh houses, I'd be a resident of Regent's Park.

I don't have, nor have I ever had, any connection with gardening, plants, trees or any other horticultural reference in my name or address.



...ah, that explains a lot.

Hey Amazin, you're back!   ;D  I've missed you.   Hope all's well and that you have just been too busy on your new lottie to post.  Have you eaten at EL Parador yet?

Just looked up the defininition of fawcett apparently it comes out russain for fawn or fawning so nature linked I suppose.

Previous address was greenside which certainly has a connection.

Then my future address will be greentop andgardens

Certainly some connection somewhere!

I have 2 in my street name! Fir (as in the conifer) and Tree (self explanatory).

Weird eh?

Funny thing is conifers are my least favorite group of plants.......Hmm!

On the coincidence bit - a lot of new housing developments have rural, gardening etc names becaust that is what the developers ploughed up to buld there in the first place.  New developements near to me go by names such as Orchard Estate, Cherry Meadows (tis the meadow bit that is relevant here - the village it is near is called Cherry Willingham) etc.  Tis probably true about the older ones too.

And how about the roads for our allotments? Mine has a Park in the name. :) Just thought of that (I'm a bit bored ;))

Newspaper = made from sustainable source = trees?

Park bench = ditto?

I'm bored as well....

grew up in a Weir, work in a Marshgate.
that's about as close to nature as my addresses get - new road, north road, eleanor road...

Mmmm, maybe explains my steep learning curve! ;D
