The message
from martin contains these words:

During the war my grandmother devoted the whole of an extremely large
garden to her chickens by 1945 there were only nettles left.

Ah. I had a grandmother like that. Strangely, she was never without
butter, bacon, tea, coffee, sugar, etc.

She also kept a pig in a sty and geese.


Then again, she had a *LOT* of hens, and a grocer for a next-door
neighbour........

amazing, are we related? :-)
