Allotments 4 All

Hey you are really close (geographically speaking  :))  So where is your allotment?

That must be a bit of a tightrope Robert in multicultural Birmingham? ???

Doesn't worry me; we've got two continents and two religions in my immediate family, and three continents represented at church. My plot's on the Guinea Gardens behind the Botanical Gardens. Where's yours?

I'm in Edinburgh I think Ann Hunter is nearer you

Yes.  Not too far from Ladywood, I used to work from the health centre opposite St Johns Primary ( ??? I think that was its name) Didnt realise there were allotments behind the botanical gardens :o

I know where you were, if that's St. John's in St. Vincent St. West. I go to the Methodist church on the corner there.

yes ;D ;D thats the one. Happy days

When I was 10 - I walked from Broad Street to the Botanical Gardens - on my own - offered a banana to a monkey - monkey didn't like banana so bit the end off my finger.

Had to walk all the way back home, holding the tip of my finger on.

I was 'told off'!!!

Nowadays they'd make a terrible fuss and you'd have to spend the rest of the day in the A&E. Things were a bit saner back then.

Ah back then your parents made a terrible fuss about how naughty you were: now the state does it.
