Non-allotment page
Now we're moving away and have passed on our allotment - hopefully to people who are as keen as we were - I realise just how much fruit and vegetables we harvested.  
We're now having to to out and BUY stuff!
There may be fewer snails and other creepy crawlies in our veg (and less mud), but doesn't taste nearly as good.  Gone is the pleasure of harvesting something we've sown and tended.
There's nowhere to escape when I fancy a break and a chat with like-minded vegetable-growers.
So, having an allotment isn't just about hard work, eating fresh fruit and vegetables in season.  It's also about friendship and camaraderie  and that I'm going to miss greatly.
