Wow

Tim just made an awesome post on his blog. When he was 11, I was 9 and our cousin was 8, we made this potion to make Granny fitter (she tends to sit down all day and this was pretty dull at the time... Now it is just sort of classic). We mixed together various substances from the garden in a bucket and hid it behind the shed. Every subsequent visit we stirred it with a spoon with a bent handle and a plaster on it (for whatever reason?! We found it in the garden!) The miracle is that it is STILL THERE!!! It is now 13 years old and has actually become part of the landscape. I reckon we should bottle it soon, it MUST have matured and is probably valuable by now. Probably the richest sort of compost going! I think one day I might plant a tree in it as a tribute to Granny...

I am slightly concerned that one day she'll have 'Peter the gardener' round and he'll bin it!! (Granny has lots of handymen who call on her and they are all called Peter... Hmmm....)
