"There's no place like home, There's no place like home, There's no place like home". I just thought I'd try it, it seemed to work for Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz".

I've still got some turf from central Park in my front garden.

Just spotted myself on this photo getting my turf, in the background with my back to the camera.

Latics pitch was sold off in sections for charity
Central Park turf was wrecked by the excavators that came to demolish the stadium – I have photos of them doing just that - disrespect to those who had ashes spread on there I thought at the time

Ancient & Loyal, there is a no more truer saying than "There`s no place like home". The `Wizard of Oz` was first shown in 1939 - 60 years before this photo was taken!
