No ! I think you'll find its a sort of open air place with flowers and grass and vegetables in it.Rory wrote:I'm trying to keep up - but what are we talking about here ???sejintenej wrote:How long is your garden: I suspect that this length record was grown hydroponically.
Is 'garden' a euphamism?

How do you want me to describe myself, apart from not looking like Alan bleedin' Titchmarsh?soc wrote:So just to set the record straight, how would you describe yourself then Richard?
If you're really curious, there are 'then and now' pictures on the CHA website: http://www.chassociation.org/contacts/advisoryboard.php
You'll see that I'm a tad larger than I used to be (partly through giving up smoking, partly through encroaching middle age), but I really don't think I've acquired the 'celebrity gardener' look!

Well, yes to the middle age bit!Rory wrote:what do you mean - approaching middle age?
I reckon you're already there.
And for the record - I don't think you look like him
You're too big and hairy.
(unless you've changed a lot...)
I think you last saw me about 4 or 5 years ago - I haven't changed all that much.

Just seen your photo Richard. The photo of you in your buttons brought some memories flooding back. For some reason, the clearest picture of you I have in my head is the abject boredom on your face as we formed up for lunch parade.
Perhaps it is just me but I don't see the Titchmarsh similarity, I do see a similarity to a jazz musician but I will be damned if I can remember his name

Given that I was in the band, I never used to march in to lunch with Mid.B very often- perhaps on days when the bugle band were playing, I suppose.

having looked at the pictures - I have this to say......
I can understand why JR etc say you look like Alan Titchmarsh - you have a similar facial structure, a mop of hair and the grin that is halfway to a smile as you don't want to say Cheese!
DBTS - you have a very old picture there - and that isn't at all what you look like today... nor is your avatar - you need to update your picture really as this is a public domain.
Julian - you are not at all how I imagined you! That was the biggest shock!
Ditto Simon - again I had a very different picture of you - I suppose I was thinking you were not long gone from CH!
