Inverted snobbery.... yawn.

Farm1 writes It's horses for courses. What works for me and turns me on won't do that for another gardener. If you don't like junk, then I don't mind if you don't see the value of junk then it's just more junk for us other gardeners who like it :-)) I think the main trouble comes when, as a result of the size of gardens generally in the UK, it's what you see from your windows! A neat and tidy gardener would probably despair if he overlooked a scruffy gnome-filled patch with weeds and "wildlife" encouraged planting, uncared for shrubs and the odd pile of tyres and freezers. However the same would be true in the reverse. I don't think people mind what anyone else likes in a garden maybe it's just living with it if you overlook a different gardening viewpoint I love the thatched cottage and pretty houses of some areas of the country and wouldn't mind living opposite them but would be frightened to death of actually owning and upkeeping them! Same goes for the Christmas garden/house decorations that are now becoming common. A friend lives opposite a truly car-stopping set of Xmas decorated houses. As she said, "it's okay if you live in it a d you can't see it but it's another matter to try and sleep with the migraine inducing flashes of a 7 foot father Christmas climbing up the front wall of the house opposite" Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
