Memories of a Garden Boy"

I gave my talk "Memories" at Ruxley Manor Garden Centre today. (24th Feb.2015) .There was a really good attendance with several remembering my vegetable talk form last year.We spotted some posters about the talk so Ann took a photo so that I can use it. We did 2 talks last week and have another on Thursday this week.
Dec. 29th
My talks have now come to an end ,I had a good run with the first one being in 1964 but night driving is now not good. I will still do a few daytime ones but un-illustrated.
