gang gangs

["Geoffrey Dabb" <>]

Elizabeth, of course, lives just down the hill at Wells Gardens, a 7-iron
from the Home of the Brumbies, whence we shall soon hear shouts of
encouragement in a South African accent.  In between our respective houses
lies Bell Street, the Home of the Gang-gangs  -  or it used to be.  In past
years at this time of year hordes of them could be found attacking the seed
of the Cockspur Thorn.  Some years ago I counted as many as 40 in this short
street at the one time.  However this year the trees are standing with fruit
intact, with only a couple of GGs reported by the locals to have made an
appearance.  This state of affairs has not occurred in the previous 20
years.  Surely Elizabeth's gourmet offerings cannot be entirely responsible.
