The latest in-store magazine (Spring 2007) for the diy store Homebase has just been released, and it contains .... me! oh yes and a few other allotmenters.
Feature titled 'The good life', 'we hear five women's experiences of working the land'. Not as bad as it sounds and gives a boost to the idea of having an allotment is 'normal'.
The photographer brought Homebase gardening props to wear, including some horrendous pink wellies (seen on another). I was asked to put them on to put a bit more colour in the photos (it was January). "What size are your feet? Reply "8". "Oh these are 5". Nothing else was said.
Right, off to Homebase the weekend then. Excellent excuse! ;D
Hope they let you keep the props, as i presume they didn't pay you top model rates!
Jus the excuse i needed to pop in (maybe tomorrow?!) ;D
