Just before it started to snow today, at approx 2pm, I was taking pictures of the Gravel Pit Allotment Association Site, which I believe, and I’m now a Trustee off, as we our a Registered Charity. The top soil has raised the level, we are currently waiting for the top soil to settle.
it was a lovely day, and I went for a quick walk with my new Wellington Boots!
Twenty-four days until Christmas 2011, so lets treat you to a blog a day! the Andysworld! Advent Calendar! (just without the chocolates!).
My Wellingtons Boots or Wellies for many years, have been in a very sorry state, they’ve split and leak!
So with my Birthday money from Family and Friends (Thank You!), I’ve purchased a new pair of Hunter wellies - Hunter Argyll Short Knee Wellington Boots.
I did not purchase from Hunter, but a local business in Yorkshire TotallyWellies.Co.Uk.
Old and New Wellington Boots
I had to get the Short Knee version, because as Lindsey, said “you’ve got fat little legs” - I just look like “Compo” now!
I’m not sure, if I had, told many people, because I had a “gagging order”, but now I can say, “We are delighted to announce that a grant of almost £24,000 has been secured from the Big Lottery Fund’s Local Food scheme and we can now begin to action the plans for community allotments in the village……”

Lets say the magic word - “Herbidacious”, and welcome to my New Secret Garden …
I’m very fortunate, I’ve been after some land, to grow vegetables on for a while, we still await the outcome of funding for our local allotment association.
A neighbour in the hamlet has kindly agreeded to let me have part of the garden to cultivate and grow vegetables, because the garden is very large and it’s too much for them to maintain. This area of the garden used to be culivated and used as a vegetable plot, 10 years ago.
I’m very excited, don’t know, when I’ll find the time, but it’s very close to where I live. It’s going to be a lot of work, but follow the journey here, it starts now…but well worth it I’m sure.
Maybe this deserves a new blog, but I’ll keep it here, coming soon …
Andys Secret Garden pictures shortly…
Gravel Pit Allotments Association Home Page
I’ve been a bit busy recently with the development of a new website for the newly formed Allotment Association in my parish. The allotment association calls itself Gravel Pit Allotments Association because it’s hoped the site will be developed on a field called Gravel Pit field. You can read what we’ve all been up to here on the website Gravel Pit Allotments Association.
