I did a week's conservation work in the Forest of Bowland (fantastic area) in sight of Pendle Hill a few years ago - does that qualify me for Blackburn residency?!

I got you beat Mike........walked up Pendle Hill on halloween a few years ago.....fell down a cattle grid in the dark..ho hum!

Does this qualify me for something too..even tho I was brought up in Kent????? ;) ;) ;)

Hi Yuetlee, Where abouts are you in Blackburn as youve said you're not far from me. Nearest ones I can think of are Little Harwood allotments and Queens Park?..............

hi steves.no1
well i'm not surprised you moved from darwen. personally i think blackburn with darwen is a dump. i hate living here. its only the plot that keeps me sane. dont rub it in about plots being cheaper down there. i know £58 works out at roughly £1 a week which is not bad for the amount of land i have got but when i hear what other people are paying it seems mine is a bit much. anyway, happy plotting you southerner

hi cyrilsquirrel
welcome to the wonderful world of plotting. just be careful because i have found that it can take over your life and you go to bed thinking of nothing else. happy plotting

Cant help myself......people are mentioning Darwen.
Once saw a vox pop piece on the "after the news" programme.....old lady was asked what she thought of the new decimal coins, she said " Its all very well, but I live in Darwen, it won't affect me"
Erm.......well, I laughed!!!!!!! :) :) :)

I watched that vox pop.  The men were right sexist  ;D

[katynewbie]

Wardy I am sure you are right!! Just struck me as funny and would have been even if a man had said it......and in Darwen it could just have easily been a man!!!!!
