We collected our Best Allotment rose bowl for winning the best allotment 2012 (we also won it in 2009) Thrilled to bits as we had worked very hard and there have been times when the water threatened to over take us on the paths. Our grand daughter has also been very involved in our allotment since she could walk so she was also there to collect the prize. She is 14 now and we worry that we might lose her to other interests before very long. She has her own bed where she grows flowers.

That's just Welsh for Congratulations. Very well deserved too!

Congratulations and lovely that your grand daughter was there too. You've obviously given her a very good grounding in the 'grow your own' regime, and I suspect that even if she develops other interests in the immediate years to come, she will probably keep the hankering in the blood and return to it at some point, probably when she's older and perhaps has a home and garden of her own when she will probably have very fond memories of what she did with you.
