Ooh,lucky you- I love that area too- although when we went to Holy Island last August it was pouring with rain and everything was shut because there had been a power cut! Good job we'd been before!

We are going to a "Love Party" at a friend's. This is the 3rd year she's done it. She's single and asks everyone to bring a valentine's card to swap. She makes a "love potion" and heart-shaped pink bread and biscuits and makes us all sing a love chant. Yes, she is a bit loopy, but it's fun!If anyone lives near Glossop,you're welcome to joiun us!

Scored browny points by having flowers delivered this morning for OH, we took little Archie to the Valentines Fair in Leeds and went on lots of rides. No baby sitter tonight but Granny Grumps is having Archie tomorrow so we are off into Leeds, shopping, cocktails, Valentines lunch at Bibis followed by more booze....

No allotment this weekend..

Drove to London with lunch for daughter and family, drove them to their allotment, planted shallots, shared out Charlotte seed potatoes with her illegal sub - sub- letters, tried to dig out nettles, lent hand tools to 4 tiny children, weeded strawberries, took tiny children for  a walk to view the really dreadfully neglected plots of this allegedly middle class site (Greenwich) with  a 3 year waiting list....

Also  had a look at their broad bean plot - gaps - gave tiny children chitted beans - fill in the gaps in 2 or 3 weeks....

Thanks lauren,
Got to admit I am fairly happy with it considering its done from images searched on google :D
The pro's do it so well but also charge a fortune, I think cost of ingredients is fair enough ;)
