Hello Grapes,
I hope you are all well and have enjoyed a great week end?
The weather has been very mixed here in hertford. Yesterday I had to have sun tan lotion on and today I am sure I have got some rust patches forming -very wet on and off. I have enjoyed this week end so much. Firstly DDL and Alice have helped me learn how to add pics onto the computer - WELL DONE to you both and a BIG thank you. Then we had our allotment BBQ and GARDENING ANGEL and myself won peoples choice for the best allotment 2007 (how proud am I - I could have burst GA (my Mum) does most of the hard work and I just help out when I have any spare time but I am still sooo happy. I hope you like our allotment from the pics above. We all had a great time - even though we got a bit wet (mad dogs and gardeners go out in the rain!!) anyway didn't dampen our spirits everybody enjoyed it. Lots of food, drink and talking. What did you all do this week end? Take care grapes - Pippin

Or it could just be short for Nicola?

Btw...didn't know about that, so I can now safely call our Guru a big girl then can I (says he ducking behind Beefy's sofa!!)

Welcome to the 'vine' Nic Pippin. Pls don't listen to the rumours that I am a dirty ole pervert!

Hi Snadger - yes you are right - I'm a girl, but I only get called Nicola when i've been naughty ) my pic is higher up on this page - i've got my good clothes on and i'm clean, neat and tidy so you might not see one like that again for a long time. I'm usually grubby and a bit dirty - just like Zebedee - or so i've heard!!!

and Zebedee I was relying on you being an ole pervy - I had heard the gossip so glad it's true and you've contacted me )

Thanks Alice - thats really kind. Now I have the technology (thanks to you) I can post more pics of our veggies/fruits etc

Hi Nic - Your allotment sounds very advanced with toilets, shop etc. Have you got any pic's?

My allotment is new and was only established in Feb, so it would be great to get some ideas of what other allotments have done!
