I'm beginning to feel very lonely in Hertfordshire!    :'(

Ooo   :o 

I do SO hope there is nobody near to Hemel Hempsted at the moment.

At 6 a.m. we herad the blast, the refinery is approx 7 miles from us.  M1 is closed.  They say it will burn for 4 days before they can try to put out the flames.  See News 24 on the box!

Stay safe everybody. FLx

thank you Wardy will do  :)

Have just had a look, GG is further East.  Other side of St Albans.    ;)

Only just saw this thread... a friend said it looked like Armageddon when he drove near. I feel so sorry for all the people on the trading estate that have no jobs now as a result, at Christmas too.

The heavy clay bit sounds like hard graft too. Yes, the security issue would upset me, after all our allotments are like our homes ...

Have just taken my allotment on

                                  Above 7th Dec 2005                                                                    Above 19th Dec 2005
it's off Bessingby Way, Bridlington, East Yorkshire. Just a lil work is needed  :-\

Wow, what a shed !!!

Derekthefox

Sure is and it was thrown in free of charge :)

"Shed" will be such a bonus when you want to have a sit and a cuppa after you start aching!! Good luck.     Lorna

already got camping stove, kettle and frying pan in there (You need to have the priorities right)   ::)

Hi all,

Since the explosions in Hemel Hempstead I realised that my plot is sited; not just in the grounds of old house on land "allotted to the poor" 100+ years ago; not just close to the flood plain protecting the fine city of Norwich: But ... we are also in the blast zone near to the chemical works. I guess that will keep us safe from housing development. I wonder if it was planned that way?

Lovely pictures Jenny. Bet the plots look a bit different tomorrow! (As in snow)

jennym. were the pictures taken Christmas eve?  Nice bit of sunshine. Did you get the fog in the evening? I see the "table" is  nicely placed  to enjoy cuppas.!!  Thanks for sharing.     Lorna.

Lorna - I think I took them about a week ago and yes, it was a gloriously sunny afternoon though. My recycled pub bench comes in handy for all sorts of things.  ;D
TM - yes, snow maybe here - am going to wander over this morning and do some things while I can, the soil's not too soggy at the moment

Excellent fruit cage Jen, I feel inspired to do something like that myself ...
