Had a lovely '5km Santa Fun Run' today - there must have been hundreds of us, very confusing for all the children on the route round town. My daughter and I did it as a 'power walk' in about 45 minutes (it did include quite a few ups as well as downs), and the sun shone and lots of people contributed to charity.

And now it's snowing hard!

I sent my potato order off the other day, am trying JBA seed potato suppliers this year, he was the fellow that was on the forum a while back.

Dear Monika, you deserve a big hug for doing the run and supporting the charity.

I think yourself and eveyone else that give their time for charities are the real people of this world.

Eavening Old Codger, nice to see you on here.

You couldn't pop over and cover my emerging broad beans for me, could you. :)

And bad news i have to report i'm afraid, the deer was over the allotments this morning while i was over there in the dark. :evil:

We just had a game of eye-spy, something we haven't done for years, everything was going well until it was cook's turn, and it was something begining with, D, i said dust, probably not one of my best answers. :)

Evening Clive, quite a production line for the shallots. :)

You did well to say dusting is real work, i could see a stoning on the cards. :)
