I don't know about you but I must be lottying in the wrong place. According to the Daily Mail, allotments are now the thing to do for young, gorgeous, career women. Can't say I've seen any around my patch but think wifey is now suspicious lol

I know my veggies are well worth looking after, and flowers are nice but can't say I'd complain. Mind you I'm worth seeing, after all there just can't be a more beaten up worse looking hat anywhere! ! ! ;)

Oh yes, well, I won't be seen on my plot if I am not in my chanel sling back diamonte wellies and my slug proof tiara!

I read this after having roared with lafter at photo. Reading into it was more enlightening tho and they did seem genuine :) Today, while it was persisting it down and A4A was down too I thought I'd use my time wisely. With those Ikea racks that someone gave me I thought I'd re-arrange me wardrobe into scruffy, dead scruffy, garbage, charity shop and allotment. If anyone asks me and my old man to go out these days I break out into a cold sweat wondering what paint splattered tee shirt I will wear ;D I recently had to put my shoes through the washer as we were asked out ;D ;D Lumps of metal fell out and I looked like I was drunk when we walked down the road off to the proms ;D I even sorted out my hat collection to sort out the ones suitable for lottying :)
My lotty neighbours are mostly single women and we were having a right laugh last winter when we were trying to get the damp matches to light. We were all huddled together, dithering with cold and dripping wet but managing to look absolutely gorgeous. Strange that not one Adonis has taken up a vacant plot near us ;D

Crikey, isn't thar sacrilege EJ - I mean NO leathers......! ;)

....and I know what you mean Wardy. My pockets always seem to have seeds, twine, or miscellaneous lottie debris these days!

Well, would hate to offend Icy, but my leather gardening gloves are blackberry encrusted don't you know. ;D

So what you are saying ladies is that beneath that battered hat, old sloppy Joe clothes and muddied wellies there is a vision to behold?

I must remember to take my glasses down the lottie in future!

Allotment chic could become the in thing ;D

Bionic Wellies · « **Reply #11 on:** July 29, 2005, 14:57:30 »

There are some georgeous femal forms on our allotments, my wife, the various female on adjacent allotments; I will never complain. But don't tell the wife - I'll never hear the end of it!

Icyberjunkie · « **Reply #12 on:** July 29, 2005, 21:04:27 »

Crikey, I'll have to get rid of the beat up curent head-wear <sniff,sniff :'( > and go buy a top hat or something just to keep up.

Still, supopsed there'd be plenty of room to hide some courgettes in it..........

My lotty mate is the zenith of the opposite of allotment chic ;D He wears kasbah pants which are tight at the ankle but half mast which he wears with old bloke type shoes. To go with his ethnic strides he wears a very British checked flannel shirt. He now has got some skateboarders calf length jeans which are massively wide (what trendy kids wear) ;D His head was burning t'other week and he'd forgotten his hat so he made a knotted hanky affair from a filthy piece of fleece :( We have hung it on a nail in his shed so he'll always have it to hand :) We're thinking of making a scarecrow which looks like him ;D

Icyberjunkie · « **Reply #14 on:** July 30, 2005, 11:27:54 »

lmao Wardy :D With him around do you need a scarecrow? ;D ven the slugs must be scared to death.........not related to lottie is he - sounds a bit mad ;)

wardy. I have made a wish that one or two Adonis types arrive on your site. How many can you handle? ;D Just one thing Wardy Lorna(jnr) is manager of a charity shop could you possibly re-arrange the order of merit from your wardrobe? I may have to buy something from her shop but hoping it won't be AFTER garbage catergory ??? ;D Due to a slight (did I say SLIGHT?) increase in my weight I now have just a small section that is marked MAYBE. The rest is marked "You must be kidding"!!!!!!!! Lorna.

wardy · « **Reply #16 on:** July 30, 2005, 22:41:33 »

Lorna Ta for making me laugh ;D ;D ;D

I have a very voluminous tee shirt, where it came from I can't recall, and the slogan on the front is "thar she blows" ;D Could you suggest an opportune moment for me to wear said tee shirt?

Icyberjunkie · « **Reply #17 on:** July 31, 2005, 09:20:11 »

NOT..on this site wardy! ;)

moonbells · « **Reply #18 on:** August 02, 2005, 22:51:53 »

Just asking my hubbie if he thinks there are any gorgeous career women at my site (and hoping he's not cheeky)

No he thinks I fit the description :) so he passes :)

;D ;D
