Anyone For Swapping?

two hungry mouths come to visit.  What more could she want?   

[Brian Ellis]

Welcome to the forum Richard.  I have enjoyed visits to BL in the past and think the double border is fantastic.  Sadly have not visited in Snowdrop season - despite a bad case of the fever

And I can`t understand my fellow landsman

Welcome Richard! Glad to see one more White-Fever-Candidate.

It seems Scotts and Bavarians have a similar sense of humour

I used to live near Milton Keynes (not the 'near' but not 'in' MK)  and it does have advantages like no traffic jams and some amazing plantings of trees and shrubs around the town - the development corporation who were responsible for building the city bought trees by the 1,000s and sometimes some rather special ones ended up in the delveries to make up the numbers. Having said that it is very flat and a long way from the sea so moving to the north east was an easy choice!

and of course we musn't forget the famous Milton Keynes concrete cows....

[SueG]

Now I rather liked the cows, in a nice bit of park with space for kids to run around and climb all over them with out fear of damaging them.
But best of all were the redways. . .

If there was a world championship for roundabouts Milton Keynes would win it!

Sorry to disillusion Sue G. but traffic jams reached Milton Keynes many years ago. Just try getting anywhere between 8am and 9am, you can't move for Chelsea tractors. They've thinned the trees quite a bit, though to be fair it was all beginning to look very Amazonian so probably needed doing. The redways are a good idea if only the bored youth didn't think it such a good idea to smash glass all over them. I suspect the red colouring could be human blood round some of the delightful estates. On travelling through some of said estates, Betjamens "Come kindly bombs etc" springs to mind.

However just to prove that not everything is bleak in MK, at present there are thousand upon thousand of wild primrose blooming amongst the trees on the roadside banks.

Wow! That makes up for a quite a lot, doesn't it? How lovely!
