When young children are involved in an accident or some other traumatic
experience, they need to be calmed and one of the ways this is being done is
to give TLC. A scheme which started in Sussex, spread to Hampshire and the
Isle of Wight and is now in 32 counties is to equip Ambulances with a little
supply of TLC's to give to the children to love and to keep. It gives them
something to concentrate on and has a very good soothing effect.

TLC's? Little Teddy Bears and the scheme is called Teddies with Loving Care.

As I said all ambulances in Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are
equipped with these. Are they in your county? Just how far has the scheme
spread and does anyone know of any other place where traumatised children
might be and received a TLC?

Try as I might, I've read this a dozen times and I cannot see it's relevance
to gardening, could someone please tell me where I'm going wrong?

YOU not understand?

Throw in the Usenet Guidelines too!

Anyhoo my recollection of gardening of sorts was my father being
persuaded by a whining (now called traumetised) six year-old to let him
have a go with a sickle. It looked fun but kids, let me tell you this.
Like everything later in life, it quickly becomes boring or makes your
muscles ache.

Then, my first packet of seed was the Chrysanthemum 'Merry Mixed' my old
man bought me. After sowing and watering in I watched the ground for a
while, got bored then played in the local brook.

Children? Grandchildren ? Gardening ? I think so!

) The first time I became aware of gardens but more to the point the
'grand importance' of my grand dad's garden is when he suddenly yelled
at me like thunder, his huge body casting a huge shadow on me, his hat
coming off, his sweat dripping off him, screaming
blueblisteringbarnecles at little me, perhaps 3 or 4 years old then, I
was holding a huge bouquet of flowers proudly, they were strawberrie
flowers ...

I assumed it was re non gardening children or grandchildren and how to get
them interested. How about 'OT' next time?

I suspect it was about teddy bears provided by a scheme *financed by
freemasons*.

How superficial, its obviously an allegory for some conspiracy or other, no
doubt run by the 'owners' of this newsgroup.

Not obvious from subject heading though.

I initially assumed the same as Tumbleweed from the subject line. No
objection to the odd diversion if interesting, but OT in the title is usual
practice to help those who'd rather ignore them.

Your only error, I suggest, would have been if you'd expected it to be
relevant to gardening in the first place. What do you want to bet the
sainted freemasons are paying for these bears?
