"Songs of praise" on B.B.C.1 next Sunday evening is coming from a church in Swinton which is only about 2 miles from where I live.Part of the programme is about parks and open spaces in Salford. Because of my involvement at Blackleach Country Park where I spend a lot of my time, I was interviewed by the B.B.C.to take part in the programme.However I am sorry to say that I am not going to be a television star after all I would have loved to see Blackleach on the telly. Instead they have chosen someone who does a gardening project in one of the other parks in Salford.I don,t know anything about this but I am looking forward to seeing it on Sunday. I am telling you about it because I thought you may be interested in watching it because it is about gardening.

Of course it will be interesting and I am sorry your piece was not chosen Derek. It is a good programme even without the gardening connection. Thanks for letting us know.

I forgot to mention ,above that we didn,t go to the recording either because it was on a Saturday last September when I had a flower show. So you won't see me in the congregation either but several people from our church went.

I'll be watching - I always do. Shame they didn't use your interview, though.

Yes I do know it Derek, haven't been there for years though, last went when the mansion house was still a mining museum I think!
