This is an aerial view of the house I was born in !. X marks the spot . The larger marked area is the school I attended . Kenmont Gardens School. My Mother was a cook in the school kitchens .Ironically my family had no garden . We lived upstairs in rented property . This was a very poor rundown area called College Park in London with small terraced houses. My family moved to state housing property. We had a small garden and my father was in his element and as a twelve year old boy I helped him shape the garden and plant flower beds. We had an apple tree ! and a small lawn with a path my father built that led to the back of the garden, some 20 feet long. My father also built a small aviary and we had Zebra finches . It was paradise to me, I loved every inch of that garden and was appreciative having never had a garden of my own.
