Thank you for sending me a copy of the DVD covering Mr James' life and business experiences. My wife and myself certainly enjoyed viewing the DVD, particularly being Bristolians. One of the items in the DVD that I found interesting was the Windmill Hill City Farm Venture. Having enjoyed gardening since I was a teenager, working my father's allotment in wartime "Dig for Victory" days, I was rather amused by Mr James' yearly rent demand of one cabbage for financially supporting the Farm's continuing work.
