#tdc4780 #ds106 It’s bananas

The tale of the mysterious plates of bananas appearing on the streets of Beeston once a month has intrigued the community and sparked much speculation.

According to local legend, many years ago, a kind-hearted fruit vendor named Mr. Patel frequented the area. He would set up his cart every month, offering fresh produce to the residents. Mr. Patel had a special fondness for bananas—they were his favorite fruit, and he believed they brought happiness. Unfortunately, he passed away unexpectedly, leaving a deep void in the hearts of those who cherished his warm smile and generous spirit.

In memory of Mr. Patel, the community decided to honor him by continuing his monthly tradition. They placed a plate of bananas on the same street where he used to sell his fruit, as a way to commemorate his contribution and spread kindness. The bananas serve as a small reminder of the joy he brought to the neighborhood and encourage people to share smiles and kindness with one another.

As the years passed, the tradition evolved into a local mystery. Each month, a new plate of bananas appears, seemingly from nowhere. Some believe it’s Mr. Patel’s spirit blessing the community, while others think it’s a secret group of residents who keep the tradition alive. Regardless of the truth, the bananas symbolize the importance of community connection, generosity, and the sweet legacy that one person can leave behind.

People in Beeston look forward to each monthly appearance, using the occasion to gather, share stories, and celebrate a sense of belonging inspired by the legacy of Mr. Patel and his beloved bananas.

#tdc4777 #ds106 106 for …?

You probably know the rhyme about magpies it is a traditional British nursery rhymes and folklore,

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.

the rhyme is often used to associate numbers with various meanings or omens. But if I had to create one specifically for 106 I would say

106 for a journey wide,
With new adventures on the tide.

This way, it keeps the spirit of the rhyme while adding a positive twist for the higher number!
