MY PRIDE AN JOY

[angle shades]

was stolen yesterday out of my coldframe >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(.

I had two melons, 1 large and one not so large, both not ripe yet, the largest one was taken, I brought the other one home ,along with every thing else I could carry in case the b*****d struck again.

I'm going to plot this pm when I pluck up courage to see if everything is OK.

I thought I would share my shock with everyone on here as you will all know how I feel :( :( :( :(/ thanks for listening/ shades x

 :o >:( :'(

I am So Sorry!

That is unspeakably cruel. Do you think it's a rival grower?

((((shades))))

[sarah]

what a shame.  its enough to make your blood boil.  >:(

[supersprout]

What a shock shades, must have been someone who knows what's in the cold frame and what to pinch >:(
I'm really sorry too :'(

[Curryandchips]

This is a sad world sometimes. You have my sympathies.

[wahaj]

that's a really crappy thing to do on so many levels!

i mean arrrg! people put so much time and effort into the lotties and if this is what comes out of it then what's the point?

it's never ever even crossed my mind of touching someone else's lottie. i don't even look at them to see how theirs are doing!

and if it's kids then they really need to find better things to do with their time.

i feel for ya. it's so frustrating.

[Mrs Ava]

GGRR!!  Words fail me.

[flossie]

Hope that everything is ok when you go down there this afternoon.   :'(

[katynewbie]

Come back and let us know please? x

[angle shades]

Thank you for your kind comments, its made me feel better for sharing :)

I also think( it hurts me to even say this) someone on my site took it,as the coldframe(homemade from double glazed windows,but unscrewed in last months hot weather for lots of ventilation) windows where put back carefully and the other melon was left for me.

Only a handful of people knew I was growing them,and my coldframe cannot be seen from lottie road, it can only be seen from my neighbours plot.

I've been to plot this pm everything seems OK,but my greenhouse door was shut and I always leave it open ::) so someone is being extra careful.Thanks for all your support once again/shades  :-*

So sorry about that Angle Shades it must be really rotten to find that has happened. i hope whoever pinched it eats it enjoys it and then spends 2 days on the loo :o  Hahahahahaha!!! try to keep chin up and beware of your fellow lottie  folks EH!!!!.

[billyish]

so sorry some sh.. as got on your plot i bet if he or she asked you would of give him or her one

[Emagggie]

Next job, set a trap if you think they are still visiting. I don't know how or what but I'm sure you could come up with something.
Complete bummer Shades. Some people are just beyond words.Rosebud has it in one, Diarrhorea to the dastardly demons. >:(

[spacehopper]

I know how you feel, we keep getting yellow courgettes nicked. Even though we are giving them away by the armful its annoying to have them taken.  :-\

[angle shades]

thanks for making me laugh out loud ;D ;D  Emaggie and Rosebud.

I love the phrase' Diarrhoea to the dastardly demons', more super hero's should say it!

It is awful having stuff nicked when everyone is giving produce away,

thanks again to one and all/shades  :-*

[saddad]

We have our open day tomorrow and I'm just dreading someone helping themselves... we'll be selling stuff for funds at ridiculously low prices.. but some people have no compunction. It must be even more galling to think it is a fellow allotmenteer..
>:(

[busy_lizzie]

It is just the lowest of the low thing to do to another lottie neighbour. How can people sink to that when they surely know the effort involved in growing and making stuff. You have my sympathy angle shades and I do hope your things are safe tomorrow saddad!  >:( busy_lizzie

[lorna]

It doesn't seem to be children, they surely wouldn't have left things so tidy. I can imagine how you feel, I have just one melon which I am willing to get ripe, would be really angry if that was stolen.(The neighbour who I gave a couple of plants to because I didn't have room has got several melons!!)) Really sorry for you..Hope no repeats of the rotten trick., Good luck.
Lorna.

[saddad]

It's not my stuff I'm most worried about Busy-Lizzie it is other plotholders, as committee man and one of the driving forces behind NGS open days I'll get a lot of flak...
;D
