IN ENGLAND NOW
Sir,-In an article recently in the daily press a New Zealand correspondent says the gardens in New Zealand now are ablaze with flowers and are more English than the English. Well, although summer seems a long way off to us now during this very cold spell, some of the gardens in this district in summer would take a lot of beating for the mass of blooms produced. Every front garden seems to have dozens of rose bushes of every colour in full bloom. As regards the food situation, we get enough to eat, although there may not be much variety. I’ll admit the housewife has rather a rough time queueing for the food in short supply. I know from experience, as I have to do all the shopping, my wife being an invalid after a leg amputation; but we still have confidence in spite of the present crisis that better times are ahead and are proud of being British.
