Letters written by children of market gardeners living in Badsey in the Vale of Evesham in 1922.
Growing mostly asparagus and fruit , kids had beautiful handwriting and worked very hard.
We have a friend in Belgium for whom the thick white asparagus preferred here to the thin green english favourites brings back only the memory of daily drudgery and back pain on his parents farm. Once a year we get a gift of a parcel of it, he always winces as he gives it as if offering something loathly.
-I am not sure why onions needed so much laborious tying?
