    Thank you one and all for your warm welcome :-)

    Scarlett - in response to your question on the other thread I am still playing regular chess and despite advancing age my play continues to be reasonably strong and I am still playing on board 3 or 4 for the local club - In fact I have a team match this afternoon.

    Eldest grandson won the Junior championship last year and is in contention again this year - he had a string of 1st in Junior competitions last year - it is only a matter of time before he overtakes me :-)


    The old allotment committee was replaced last year and getting things in order has been a rather stressful task - we were left with a backlog of 4 years of Annual reports and accounts which had never been properly finalised and only put these to bed just before Christmas. We are in the process of providing a 2nd watering point to serve the south side of the site which should be completed before planting time.

    Otherwise the allotment is looking not too bad with seaweed covering 2 beds and 2 more with well rotted manure. High winds over the last week has resulted in a little damage but nothing that can't be easily rectified :-)

                    Well AP we always used to blame VC for everything so I have to agree with you it was obviously all her fault :-)

                    VC - told you it would come back to me :-)

                            VC - Trust you to think the worst. I was not AWOL - I was kidnapped by Aliens from Outer space and only escaped in time to help my good friend Bernard dig the trench for the new water supply or watch him dig the trench whilst I dealt with a wasp's nest which was delaying the work.

                            I would post a picture to prove this but the Aliens have blanked my memory - wait a minute I think it is coming back

                              That's a great new use for debris netting, Shen.

                                Hazel - sshhh - you'll give the game away - had to use something, there were hundreds of them - well at least 50 and they were somewhat perturbed when I blocked off the access to their hole in the ground and it took ages to disperse them - they seemed to come a dozen or so at a time but did not attack - still think I could have been mistaken for something from outer space
