I wonder if you'll ever find out who is sending you hot cross buns from above.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14643457760674241505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106418510267458618.post-29943461556815291532010-04-11T08:38:39.386-07:002010-04-11T08:38:39.386-07:00Hi Edith,

How great it must be to live in an area with such a rich gardening history. Be sure to have your camera with you the next time you guys go to show/event at the pavilion (lol) - GGaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653020388235448819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106418510267458618.post-85051388216561074662010-04-11T03:17:13.603-07:002010-04-11T03:17:13.603-07:00Dear Gary, This posting is, for me, a walk down me...Dear Gary, This posting is, for me, a walk down memory lane for as a child I would,on day trips by paddle steamer [The Monarch, The Bournemouth Belle] from Swanage visit Bournemouth. I well remember the gardens running through the town centre and, at some point in the 1950s, seeing them lit with night lights in coloured glass jars hanging from trees and shrubs. Health and Safety will have put a stop to that years ago, I imagine. And, for reasons too tedious to tell, for many years I saw the pantomime in the Pavilion Theatre - even now recalling hiding under my seat when the Wizard appeared in Cinderella!!<br /><br />I love Hot Cross Buns - lucky you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
