I took early retirement and redundancy at sixty
And that was twenty years ago
Yeah it was my 80th
last wednesday, yes
I suppose I am one of the oldest up here now
time-wise
Well that's a few
shallots coming on
That is some sweet peas I still got
Well you can buy those
a pound for fifty or sixty of them
Funny thing earlier on in the year it was on the telly
they said it was going to be a bad year for rhubarb
It was some bug or something
A friend of mine on that allotment, he's got some friends who've got an allotment up there
He grew hops last year
He reckons he had enough hops
To do quite a bit of brew
I used to be friendly with a farmer
at Charlton Kings
and when I left school
I went to work for his grandfather
I'd get him an order for around the allotment
I collected the money and I used to collect about 200 pounds
Well whenever I go to the doctor for my yearly checkup he says
"Still doing that allotment? Don't want to know no more", he says
"Can't tell you nothing", he says
This keeps me very fit
It's nice having a chat It gives me chance to have a rest
