Bob FlowerdewI have a dream that this world can be made better bit by bit. Dreams were one reason I started growing my hair. It struck me hair might possibly act as an aerial, and I made notes to see if my dreams changed as it got longer. Since I’ve been growing it, my dreams seem more sensible, more like real life.
Vonnetta plaits my hair at night — it’s a lovely bonding experience. About 10pm, before I shower and say my prayers, I do a last round of the garden and sniff the flowers. Unlike the babies, plants don’t scream at night. There are very few things in life that are better than sex, but in the long run, gardening just beats it. For half an hour I’ll have the sex, but for the rest of the day I’ll take gardening.

Bob's a bit odd though, eh?I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."

Wee???? ( ooops..I thought you said SPELL...)
OK...just for the record....
I think this guy is superb.
Laid back, quiet, organic guru (YEARS ahead of his time)
I'd invite him to tea/supper/weekend/holiday() ANYTIME.......
Good on ya Bob....an inspiration to us all! ( yes..I DO have one of his books and he is a 'real time/real life' sort of guy) ...My OH and I would love to spend a weekend working with him to learn a few tricks of the organic trade.
I wonder why no-one has suggested him for Gardeners World??...probably because he's too bashful??
Maf...Good idea for this years GYO panto- Rapunzal. ( auditions at the end of the growing season........) ....Bubblewrap could provide the landing pad for the lovers leap????Last edited by Nicos; 27-06-2008, 07:46 PM."Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

Leave Bob and his plait in peace. I usd to have one just like it - 'cept darker in colour, but had it surgically removed when I changed offices years ago - now sport ever so functional if slightly thuggish looking No 1 cut.

I think what finally did it for me was when an old guy who was a good friend (who is now dearly departed) said to me jokingly " We all know what lurks under a ponies tail don't we?"
PS Deep respect to Bob btw!Last edited by Snadger; 30-06-2008, 04:17 PM.My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
