And I didn't know anyone either. But you don't have to know people or a place to feel what we all share in common I guess.<br /><br />J.D. - Glad you like! How's the bike?!<br /><br />Tony - Wasn't it you who suggested Botany? Well, thank you if you did. It's a special place.<br /><br />Charley - Kogarah, hmm, could be interesting.<br /><br />Di - Wow, thanks for all your comments on the different suburbs. Always interesting to see what images people like best.<br /><br />Trent - Thank you - and yes, the school reunion was quite lovely. You can just picture those guys as little kids can't you?<br /><br />Anon 2 - Observant 10 year old! Absolutely right.<br /><br />Jamie - Thank you - did you like the botanic references?!<br /><br />Anon 3 - Thank you - as I just said, the emotion on those old friends' faces is beautiful.<br /><br />Nat - Yes, there's definitely a new Botany emerging. Interesting to see how it goes from here - maybe a little like Danks St, Waterloo.<br /><br />Louise52suburbshttp://www.52suburbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-77355893619922796042010-05-26T02:51:07.377+10:002010-05-26T02:51:07.377+10:00How amazing to see all that in Botany - who would ...How amazing to see all that in Botany - who would have thought it?

Interesting place though, looks out over market gardens (or it did last time I was there for a family funeral).<br />DiBeach Tropichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10315779456280022373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224835141360424669.post-1767004022755357212010-05-25T09:17:36.095+10:002010-05-25T09:17:36.095+10:00What a great blog!
