Ah - sweet peas - my wife always grew them each year when we lived in Surrey - we moved to L.A. some 13 years ago and she has continued that success. On the other hand I have given up digging a 6 foot ditch for my runner beans - can't dig much more than 6 centimetres the two things I really miss here are runner beans and new potatoes. I was in Houston last week and at the end of the day one of my clients (a German) took me round the corner to an English pub, which was his local and frequented by his English friends. I ordered a pint of Boddington and as it was an English pub served by an Englishman with English voices all around and with a pint I got really confused - I thought I had to pay in pounds - I had a blank spot on the $. Later on t.v. they had the final game of the Houston - St Louis baseball series to see who would go into the world series (strange they should call it world when only the U.S. and Canadian temas can compete) - Houston won and the town went crazy - strange that in the pub all the English were so into the game. Now if it had been the England - Australia test match.
