Perhaps a reader from this side of the pond will come forward with her/his own tales of bindweed skirmishes.<br /><br />What I do hope is that you won't mind when I say that I would so trade a morning/afternoon vs. the bindweed as a trade for what I see everyday on the platforms while I wait for the next subway train to arrive.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-31065093841713753832009-08-07T21:57:08.029+00:002009-08-07T21:57:08.029+00:00I moved house and left the bindweed behind.
