Wow wadderuno

Hi all.
yes it is me and at last an update on things that really matter.

I have been down at the bottom doing odds and ends because I have found a very unnasuming and charming young lady in the form of Katherine.
She has come along to help me in my time of less activity due to problems of old age. Well I was not quite expecting her to be like she is. Anothewr Bula? She has been with me for a little over a week and she is amazing. Her work rate is second to none and she has a nice warm appeal too. She is a credit to her Mom and Dad, Pat and Nick. I wonder how I am going to keep up with her. My plot has taken on another new look and hopefully we will be able to make a really good job of it.
All potatoes dug out execpt competition ones. And beleive you me, they are the best I have produced so far. The usefulness of the pots are superb. From small salad types to Bumper Bakies.

More news on the weather. I hope it will eventually stop persisting down as I need to give my humble girlies a roof over their heads. As they lay their breakfast goodies for my wife and myself, it would be nice to return the favour. Hopefully the last of the last bunch will be in full feather soon, as she looks a little sorry for herself at the moment, and of course the weather is not helping her one little bit.

I shall book off now and get some pictures ready for the next blog in a few days time so that you can see how they are all doing as well as the allotment.
Bye for now folks and sorry for the long awaited blog.

Its Me again

He all, just to let you know I haven't fallen off the edge of the earth. I'm still around.

Been down to the bottom Today and decided it was high time I came on me blog and did some serious work for a change. I am going to try and attach the Newsletter I do each bi-month so that all and sundry could get it and hopefully make life easier for me.
Here goes a try at uploading it now. Its in PDF format so should be OK. We shall have to wait and see if anyone looks at it.
PS Does anyone know how to add a PDF file to my editing page Like NOW!

Villa piling up the matches.


Hi there all.

Must say Happy New Year and now thats done down to the nitty gritty.

Been stuck at home apart from one day this week (Wednesday), I decided to go down to the plot and see if there was any chance of getting potatoes for din dins.
Well, after the reverberations stopped through thefork. You might know. The ground was absolutely, yes! you might know dopey dick tried and the ground was solid. If at first you dont succeed,? I didnt though. The fingers were still tingling.

I have been awaiting treatment for my knee, left leg, which gave way boxing day, and it was not the drink Hazel. Oh No! it was unbeleivable. Chris I like your bloggs. Interesting. Like you I like the snow. The picture tells it all. I have been told I have to go into have something done on the knee, so I am awaiting the call. But will be skating off on 25th for a break, down to Hayling Island. till the 29th.

I get on well with walking in the snow usually, but now the knee is crocked I can only do a little at a time. I had the nicest shock yesterday, Sat. The door knocked and I went and opened it to reveal the saw dactor, Brian calling in to see if he could get anything in for the O.A.P's. Well, what a lovely thought. I have always been willing to do for others, now I find I am in a position where I may be helped. Brian, your thought and turning up was the nicest thing that has happened this year so far. God bless his little cotton socks. As far as the allotment is concerned it is a no no for me at this minute, but I have sown some seeds, secret ones for the show. Hope I can get them to do what I want. More about that in a later blog.

The Villa, hence the title. Well we are having a pretty bad time at present like most clubs. I was all ready to go to Blackburn on the coach last Tuesday, when the phone call came and I was told all is off. The sandwiches were made and flasks just about to be made, so Alma and I had Egg and Cress for lunch. Wow. They were nice though.

Not seen much of people lately so will be good to catch up on all thats gone on shortly. Hope you are all well wrapped up and enjoying the crisp fresh air. It will kill a lot of our bugs and grubs hopefully, so see you all around soon, Take care cus we care.
