You know you're getting old when you see one of your favourite bands from your youth, performing at the Isle of Wight Festival, and you see a group of middle aged men playing instruments. Yes I have been watching Sky Arts coverage of the legendary 'rock' festival. The band in question was the Stranglers. Time waiteth for no man, so goes the saying.
Like wise I got up this morning and dug my first Solanum Tuberosum (new potatoes). Talk about there being gold in them there hills. I (we) planted them in the first week of March and it's seemed like an Elephants pregnancy waiting for them. Here's some photo's for you:
The top picture is my new potatoes sitting in my old Kenwood Chef stainless steel bowl. Bought from a car boot sale in England for £1 in 1999. You can also see peas growing in a old bath and carrots growing in a boulder raised bed. I really like 'untidy gardening'. All praise be to your allotments. We are the artists with our hoes and spades and forks for paint brushes.
Would loved to have seen England during the 'Dig For Victory' campaign, when every where was used to grow veg. Wouldn't minded being a Spitfire pilot either or a train driver (steam of course) or writing Ealing comedy scripts. See you next week!
