Allotments 4 All

I gave one of the big pumpkins left after the competition to some of our Bangladeshi plotholders.

Yesterday, they gave me £30 they had raised by selling slices of it to their friends and family!

I thought that was really lovely, nobody has ever done anything like that before.  :) 

The £30 will go to our fund-raising for Macmillan/Air Ambulance.

 Just re enforces what I've always said, there's good in all peoples shame we only focus on the few that give a bad name to the human race.  Bet your chuffed to conkers Squash64   :) :)

what a nice story Squash - thanks for posting  :)

Dya know its so nice to read something worthwhile on here

Kinda restores the faith in human nature, eh?  ;D ;D

What a wonderful gesture!  :D  8)

That is a lovely thing to do. :)

What lovely, thoughtful people.  You are lucky to have plot neighbours like that  :) :) :)

That is lovely !!

warms the cockles wonderful

Shows how cynical I have got, expected this topic to be about a rip off supermarket!

Really lovely thing to happen, does restore a bit of my faith in humanity :)

My first thought was the same as Bob's, what great people you have on your site Betty, make sure you mention to them the comments on here, my cockles are well and truly warmed.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks everyone for your replies.

When they gave me the money yesterday Habib kept asking me "Are you happy with that?" because he was worried I would think it wasn't enough!

They are such a nice family.

What a lovely thing to do and thanks for sharing Squash, it is indeed uplifting to read happy stories  :)

It was 116 pounds but it only came sixth in the competition!

My cockles warmed with such nice thoughts they certainly are.
How lovely to do such a nice thing. ;D ;D ;D

We gave one of our giant pumpkins to our lottie neighbour who carved it and made soup to sell for donations to charity. He did this through the local social club.  ;D
