10-9-06 The resurrection of the Ash Produce Show and the Pumpkin Disgrace.
Also Ran1-hope springs eternal Posted Sep 13, 2006
Hi dear winner of veggie prize at ASh Agricultural Fair!
Well done. Did you put on your chillies and your marrows ?
Have just come back from Margate where a friend and I went to visit a Franciscan sister from Zambia who had been hit by a motorcar last month.
She was very low but has perked up. Left ankle broken and right foot badly mangled. She asked me to drive past the placed where the accident took place. I honestly nearly died. How she wasn't killed I have no idea. Iron railings torn off a flight of steps, A pillar torn away from the house. she was unconcscious for nearly a week. I just think she is so lucky to be alive.
There was the most dreadful traffic jam on the M25. Boy am I pleased that I do not have to commute.
I remember Hawstone Hall well. I spent three months convalescing after open heart surgery and followED a fascinating course there. I have many happy memories of walking (and slipping) up and down the various hills and meeting Follies for the first time. I was most amusd by them!.
Go well,
Christiane.
PS How about coming over for the Autumn meet? It would be great to meet you. I am hoping that gnoman and Azara will come out on the Sunday and also hoping that Websailor will tear herself away from her badgers will come and join us at Kew and come and spend the night with K. and I. Kew is a lovely venue and I hope to hire an electric wheelchair. mAKE LIFE MUCH EASIER. Lovely venue.
You would be more than welcome to stay with K and I.

At the end of long days light relief rocks alright. Lots of room for the deep stuff too though.
An update:
The brown objects did turn out to be Jerusalem artichokes, which I tried raw and cooked like potatoes. They were... interesting. Might make a nice addition to a salad, but I'm not that fussed about them. Glad to have tried them though.
Jicama - I googled it, never having heard of it before. It grows 2 metres long! I want one for the next show. Pumpkins eat your heart out. Jicama are the new black.

Christiane, I'm afraid I just bought the second prize veggies after the show - I didn't grow them. All I have in the garden this year is fruit - gooseberries, raspberries, apples, gages, damsons and plums. Anything that more or less looks after itself 
.
Your Zambian friend was lucky. You know, I've done that revisiting an accident site thing. So much sense of what might have been and alternative universes - a strange experience. Where it was is gone now, disappeared in road realignments. It's odd too that where such a 'nearly' crossroad was, no longer exists.
Your invite - that's really kind of you, and Kew is lovely. I'm not at all sure about a big meet 'meet', but a small informal after-meet meet, that's different, and Kew is very tempting.
Not this time around, though - I'm off in the opposite direction that weekend, on a trip to North Yorkshire with a friend. We're staying in my brother's cottage while he's away, vising York and the moors and maybe looking for ammonites in Robin Hood Bay 
.
Kew in autumn should be well worth seeing - hope you get one of those sunny autumn days for it.

Well, by all means, retaliate. What did you do that caused her to throw the cob in the first place?

I said that her "bum" and for our American cousins "butt" was beginning to look like "two ferrets fighting in a sack" whilst she was doing the washing, (she had her back to me while stood at the kitchen sink) she was scrubbing the nippers socks at the time!

Over here the expression would be "two pigs in a gunny sack".
That would get more than one cob hurled your way.
You are an ornery man.
