  1. Re the activities in the surrounding neighbourhood, I live on a main road, with lots of traffic. It's irritating at times when I'm waiting to get out of my drive, and there's constant police / ambulance sirens passing, but that's life. 

    I like to hear people getting on with their everyday activities. Yes, even the neighbours kids playing in the garden.

    Its nice early in the morning, or late at night, just to hear the world going about its business. 

    The day I can't hear anything, is most likely because I'm in my box !

  2. I also watched Love your garden, with the obsequious short arsed but much appreciated Alan Titchmarsh the other night.

    His gang did a tremendous job on renovating the large garden of a poor chap who contracted meningitis and sepsis in his mid 40's. He's had to have amputation treatment on all four limbs. I know that a lot of these heart wrenching stories are virtually unwatchable, but this one really hit home for some reason. 

    Maybe it's because I love gardening so much, that I'd be devastated if for any reason I was prevented in doing so.

    Anyway, well done to Alan and his gang.

  3. I recently watched the Joanna Lumley series on Japan. As usual, she came across extremely well in her own amicable way.

    What a strange race they are though in their lifestyle, but not a sign of litter, vandalism or graffiti.

    She finished off on the island of Okinawa, and how they've adapted post WW2. Jesus Christ, what a bloodbath. Nearly a quarter of a million casualties on all sides, and virtually all the local population used as human shields or forced into the army. Unbelievable !

  4. Col, we'll never know the benefits or otherwise until we try it. All the remainers and others are screaming 'Democracy', but they're not at all eager to recognise democracy as the result of the referendum , and the views of the majority, however slight, of the population.

    Too many MP's are swayed by their own personal views, and hopefully many will be looking for a new job after Christmas.
