We had a letter today to say that we have won the local Best Allotment 2009. Whooo hoooo. We have worked so hard to make our allotment work this year and I must say that we were very proud of our allotment.

Congratulations Catherine!!!

After all the problems you've had, you really deserve it

Hi Catherine,

Well done You will be planning for next years competition then

Regards

Kevin

Well done to the both of you Catherine, the bossing about certainly seems to have paid off.

Thank you PJ and ND for your congratulations. No Kevin we will not be doing it next year as it was too stressful and it almost takes the fun out of it. Or it certainly did in the last few weeks. It felt like everyone was watching everyone else to see how they were doing and to better them.

OH - My Oh did not not boss me around too much........... In his dreams only


I called up at the plot on Sunday morning to collect the jar of coffee I left in the shed on Saturday. They were going round the allotments judging at 9.30am so I panicked and rushed around our plot pulling every last weed that might have grown over night. I can't cope with that sort of stress.

Congratulations Catherine,hard work but worth it when other people appreciate your plot as much as you do,well almost.....

well done - how about a photo spread?

I still dont know how to put photos on the blessed site so I will endeavour to try and work it out I am sure it is easier than I imagine.

I am not an expert on changing the size as I use Photoshop and it is easy in that, you want 640 x whatever to make them easy to view.
To add one to a post just go down to Filename
click Browse and find the file on your PC
click Open
click Add the file

You can then use Preview to check you have got what you want before you Submit.

There are some excellent freebie utilities for resizing images without having to fork out for, and get to grips with, Photoshop. For PCs there's PIXresizer, or there's a brilliant Dashboard widget, Image Shackle for OS X.

Excellent Catherine! Well Done

I was going to ask about some piccies too. If you have a few you could use something like Bubbleshare http://www.bubbleshare.com/- it's free and lets you create albums which you could then give us a link to. It can be used to share photos with friends and family too as you can limit who you share your photos with. I use it on my website to try and keep the number of images to a page lower but still have lots of photos for people to view.

Someone from KG may even be listening and give you a spread!

Many congratulations Catherine. I can well imagine howe elated you must be feeling. Well worth all that hard work.
Look forward to seeing photos if you can get them up.

Beryl.

Well Done Catherine

Post piccies ASAP. Can't wait to see your lottie.
