small balls

[Marianne]

Lorna,
We have some very good friends who live in East Ham.  Is that South or North of the river Thames ??

Talking of balls, I get these on my vine, I think they are the leakage of sap through a hole made by a sap sucking insect of some kind. The sap congeals into a solid ball. Try eating one! if I'm right it will taste sweet, if wrong, then at least one egg won't hatch!

Marianne. East Ham is North side of Thames (East London) near Blackwall Tunnel'ish I was born in Eltham which is South side (S.E.London) and most of my large family all still live round that area. Erith, Chislehurst, Eltham, Sidcup.. then some in  parts of Kent. Maidstone, Cliffe .I don't think the North of the Thames people consider  us Southerners real Londoners but we don't mind. Have been diving in and out between heavy showers trying to do jobs in garden. Lorna.
