I guess he likes buildings like all blokes do, me, I love trees, and although I live on the top floor of this block, I'd love to have green leaves right outside my window rather than see all the buildings all around us. For me there are not enough trees in our lives, but anon, to be fair wants more buildings, thats what makes our world such a lovely place, we're all different.<br />BusyBeeBusyBeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589579548155673009.post-67779638415875134732009-06-22T11:57:06.718+01:002009-06-22T11:57:06.718+01:00hi

I know I would probably have popped my clogs by the time there is any real fruit on them, but all trees are legacies aren't they?<br />I can see leabank square in about 10 years time with an amazing garden, backed on by a row of delicious fruit trees!<br />Mmmmmmmmmmmm<br />MaryMarynoreply@blogger.com
