I remember seeing photos of your allotment, if there were 9,000 entries, not one of them could possibly come close to yours. It is wonderful for all that work to be recognised. Well done to Barry but I suspect Esther helped too.

Thankyou Only 900 allotments WLF - not 9000 ;D The only way I help is to grow plants for Barry - he does all the hard work ;D
