re your message as follows "The fondest memory I have of moving to Eltham in 1959 was that we used to get milk still warm straight from the cow just down the road. We used to pour it on our weetbix or make porridge. This practice is fine as long as the cow is healthy."

In 1990 and 1991 I went to work in England. (I am assuming that the Eltham you are talking about was the one in southeast London, although I have just discovered that there is one in Victoria too, so maybe that's where you grew up). I was working as a vet in Sidcup. I was called out to a "farm" in Eltham. The farm was several acres in size and had been much larger once. It belonged to a Dr Bush and his wife, the parents of Kate Bush. Mrs Bush (sorry, forgotten her first name) was almost a dead ringer for Kate.

I'd hate to think what several acres in Eltham in London would be worth.
