Watching Them Bowl

A Memory of Camberwell.

When I was quite young my grandfather would take me up to Ruskin Park when he went to bowl and I would sit on one of the seats, I guess to the right of this picture. Unlike the other comment I did not try to put them off - there is NO 'run up' BTW you are thinking about cricket - indeed I was shown what to do and how to do it. Here I learnt that the balls were neither round nor weighted a fact that I have ever after found hard to believe. I do not know what happened to grandad's woods – they were made of wood - when he died. Maybe he had already given them away - but I doubt it! Why did I go? Well either during or after he would buy me an ice cream!
