Tumblin' Keith


Should I risk it, Keith Richards asks himself before climbing the coconut tree (image courtesy: www.newsphoto.nl)













I shouldn't have, says the Keef after the fall

My childhood was almost entirely spent on top of a guava tree (good fruit, but monkeys were a common hazard) and two mango trees (one bore the picklin' mango and the other, the aromatic "dasheri".) There's nothing better than spending some alone-time on a tree. But a coconut tree?

Gee... that's a bummer.

We had a guava tree too in one my childhood homes... very weak branches but great for pretend tree houses a la Enid Blyton.
