In stark contrast I recall childhood visits in the 1950’s to my grandmother little house just behind the London Hospital in Whitechapel. The back yard was perhaps 12 ft square and entirely concreted over , with an outside toilet . My uncle would warn me of the friendly rat that would occasionally pop his head out of the toilet bowl as a greeting . Indeed a trip outside to this foreboding exterior was considered with some trepidation .

I’ve never had a lot of luck with Hostas because the slugs and snails find them delicious. A fine selection of cats displaying great pride in their respective territories too.
