Title: My Allotment Album
Post by: Trixiebelle on June 01, 2007, 10:16:03
Having failed DISMALLY in my endeavours to upload photos on A4A, I've updated my Photobucket album instead!

Password: allotment

The pictures are back to front, so all the 'before' photos are at the end. Typical of my topsy-turvy life  ;D

There are over 100 photos so be prepared to fall asleep on the keyboard half way through!

Hope you like them.

Some great pics in there Trixie!

Like the mattress on the wall, and all the lovely ones of Alfie. The plot looks so interesting, lots of different areas etc. Well done you!

Great pics and very interesting. Have just come in from the garden after a hard days work so it was a real tonic to sit here and be entertained. Thankyou for sharing

Lovely pics Trixie...Thanks for sharing.
I love looking in sheds (when invited of course). They seem to have a quaint atmosphere.

Yup, definately in love with Ahmed and I want that boy Alfie too.He looks ripe for introducing to rude rhymes and filthy habits. ;D
Loved it all Trixie, but why was that bloke hanging upside down? Does he always go about like that? ;D

That's an interesting looking site; where is it? The hedges look neater than they are on mine.

Wow, wow, wow, I want your allotment!!! It looks great! So much character, I love allotment sites that ooze character like that. I have a real thing for reclaimed, arty farty, recycled etc. (hence the womble nickname!) Show me a full skip and I'll be inside it within seconds pulling out half the contents!

Thanks for sharing those pics with us Trixiebelle.  ;D

Hi Trixibelle, really got assortment of pics there, its so nice with digicams now that you can just click away and before long have a huge assortment of images. Loved the inside of the shed and some of the artefacts you have hanging around, really interesting!

I look back at pics me and my family took 20 years ago and it took so long, first the camera, then hoping they would all come out, then paying to find out, then having to wade through albums.

Now you just stick them on the'puter and have a slideshow! I take millions of photos for fun and work, and I already have a huge amount, but funnily enough my allotment and garden pics seem to be rapidly increasing in number.

Emmag! Alfie already knows a few rude rhymes and has inherited filthy habits from his lovely mother! The upside-down bloke is Mad Frank. He's left the allotments now - all the blood rushed to his head and he had to have a lie down. Another very good friend of mine  :)

Womble! I'm the same with skips! In fact I recently bought a Ford pick-up truck to pander to my obsession. The old Saab convertible just couldn't fit enough in it with the roof down and it was a BEGGAR if it was raining  ;D When the allotment skip arrives I'm the 1st in taking out half the contents muttering "Why on EARTH would anyone want to throw THIS away"  ;D

That's where the rusty mattress came from!

Lin! It's FANTASTIC with a digicam isn't it? I've still got 'manual' films in my drawer waiting to be taken to the 'manual' printing shop but I just can't be bothered.

It feels a bit like cheating with a digi though. All you do is press a button, upload it and then there are loads of other buttons that make it look better on-screen. What I'm waiting for is the button that makes things 'in focus' when the original is blurred! Could make a fortune with that invention I reckon.

I like the sense of humour!

One photo prompts me to comment - before dibbing for Leeks, it's helpful to moisten the row so that the dust etc doesn't fall in.
