L'Estelle, Perols, France.




The above picture is of my "domaine" at a place called "L'Estelle" in Perols, close to Montpellier. The green grass "English style" was very unusual for the area, you don't often see it....the road junction outside was (unbeknown to me) named "Carrefour des Roses" (Rose junction) and my roses WERE a sight to behold!
Just a shame that we fell into the hands of an "escroc" (a swindler) and an English one to boot.....!
You see........
I didn't always live in a small appartment, I even lived in big appartments, and even a HOUSE.....That was in the days when I was posh!

A bit of their history is here: http://www.graftingardeners.co.uk/history-londons-commons/ and some are used by the well known  London Buses. Some are criss-crossed by main roads, some have public golf courses, some have tennis courts, both in concrete and in grass.... The special thing about these 'Commons' is their size....They are immense. In pure ground value they must be worth billions of billions of pounds sterling, and yet there is rarely any attack made on their status. It is rather astounding! Just for the record, there is another, ...
