Friends on the allotment are just starting to pick a few early
french beans. Lots of broad beans and too many peas to pull. Some
nice Swift first
early potatoes as well.
Runner beans are just flowering as are the outdoor tomatoes.
Nothing else to see really.

I know what we will be having for tea tomorrow if I know my friend.

Another H E Bates fan?

I wondered how long it would take you to figure that one out, Wilson.
Said Captain Mainwaring.

I clocked it straight away I am a Dad's Army fan too We have a
full set of all the available series.


A bit of a watcher than a reader, as is obvious, but my daughter has
a bookcase with probably 20 in there. She has grown up and gone now,
but when
shes here, look out bookcase. She used to actually spend her pocket
money at jumble or car boot sales, or buy a new one at W.H.Smiths.
Then my Stephen Donaldson collection got lesser and lesser when she
went to 6th form(as it was then) The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant is
a must read if you are interested. But there are 10 books. Took me a
long time to read cos
I have a bit of read/ write problem.
But yes, I have many talking books by H E Bates, some very surreal.

Many, many years ago I was in hospital for an extended period. The
hospital librarian had a good selection and I read all of Bates I
could get my hands on

I have seen all the televised stuff and at first it took me ages to
recognise the stories. When one has the characters and stories in
ones mind it is hard to accept someone else's imagination ... if you
see what I mean




Yes, of course I know what you mean. I could not have put it better.
I have had this deja vous many times.and it can be spooky, as you know.
