As it's American Independence Day, I thought I would show you something typically British; the allotment. I don't know if Americans have allotments, or grow their own food, but they probably would have if their country still belonged to Britain and they followed our customs, like driving on the left, calling chips, crisps and saying goodbye instead of "have a nice day". Still they have given us Mickey Mouse, Star Wars and for the ladies; George Clooney. Not forgetting our very own favourite blogger Abe Lincoln.
One of our local allotments had an open day today. There were demonstrations and a plant sale. I'd like an allotment, but I don't have enough time to do my own garden, never mind another one. Probably spend too much time on the computer!
Not that typically British... If it was, that umbrella would be keeping off the rain not the sun.
ReplyDeleteNot going to moan though... happy to bake until September...
I'll keep you busy GM dont worry.lol.
ReplyDeleteYou have to be in the know to get an allotment anywhere - probably easier to get into the masons.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a busy and fun place to buy some plants! We can learn from each other - that's what's so great about CDP blogs - culture and photography exchange! Regards from EAGAN daily photo
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insight into your life. Those pesky colonials do have their uses!
ReplyDeleteOh that kind of demonstration and show me one. I thought the vegetables were revolting. Oh no I mean rebelling. English language a minefield.
