Can anyone read what my Avatar says

[Maraya1969]

I'm really tired of this Avatar but I'm afraid no one will recognize me if I get a new one. I notice it has words under it and I can't read them even if I download it and use the zoom thingy.

Does anyone know what I have been saying all these years?

[A-Long-Little-Doggie]

1. Nope...

I even tried zooming the image, but couldn't read it then, either.

Pray tell -- what does it say?

2. It says, "If you can read this, you're insane."

:P

The Grassy Knoll - Understanding Garden History

I am a regular visitor to Bob's blog - 'Gardener to the Big House. Bob did a post with pictures of some remedial maintenance to a border against an old wall.

Bob's work was impressive and really changed the look on the area that had become a little out of control but what really caught my eye was a mound at the top of the picture with some steps leading to it.

This grassy Knoll was not used in any assassination of a passing president but closer inspection seems consistent with a deliberate construction. Bob offers the explanation that the hump was used as raised viewing platform to watch the cricket on a neighbouring field.

Seems the most likely use - I wonder if there are some old gardeners diaries gathering dust in one of the potting sheds that might shed a bit more light?

I personally love garden history and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to nose around many old houses and their gardens in the course of my work.

I used to enjoy looking for changes in brickwork or paving and how terraces and walls might be formed. Depressions in lawns are also a good indicator that alterations had taken place in previous years.

While I am on the subject there are a number of places that you can go to that bring together examples of garden and gardening history. One such place is the Museum of Garden History in Lambeth London.

Being based in a church is a strange place to host a garden exhibition you might think but it is there for a reason. In 1976, the de-consecrated church of St Mary's-at-Lambeth was due to be demolished after over 900 years as a church, due to a dwindling congregation.

The building had stood empty since the de-consecration of 1972 and had fallen into a state of disrepair.

However, a discovery in the overgrown churchyard spurred founders John and Rosemary Nicholson into forming a charity to raise the funds and save the building.

7. "Call me Ishmael....."

is that it?

[Maraya1969]

9. Yes "Call me Ishmael" Looks a lot like "Proud member of the grassy

knoll society" I can see how one would get confused. :spank:

I am just assuming it is really the grassy knoll society even though I had never heard of it until today. :smoke:
