Hump day again, where thanks to the Queen of Desks Julia we bare our workdesks on a Wednesday. This week on my desk is this!!!!!
This is a certificate (not had one of those for MANY years) I came RUNNER UP in our parish in bloom contest for our allotment site! This is the first year I have had this plot and it had NOTHING but weeds growing when I took it over in April. It has lots that needs doing and some things need rethinking (and it is only a small plot so I need to be careful what I plant and where). The hilarious things is that I had NO idea it was for the parish in bloom. The parish council said they were inspecting the plots so I presumed it was like the plot inspections I used to have when I had a plot in Bath 20 odd years ago (they used to check % of land weed free, edges etc) to ensure I didn't get a fine or notice to quit. It was more chilled than this and was for the parish in bloom!
So we went to the council meeting where I got a certificate AND totally unexpected a £15 garden centre voucher! Plus there was a buffet and wine, I was well chuffed!!
So there you are, bit of a different desk this week as I am making a bit of space on the wall of my craft room to display my certificate since I am really stupidly proud of it!

wow, go you! you have really worked hard on your allotment this year and this is well deserved.
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous!! Of course you should be proud, it represents a lot of effort. Have fun!! Happy WOYWW Cindy #19
ReplyDeleteQuite right to be stupidly proud...its just the sort of thing to put a smile on your face whilst you’re digging and cursing the heavy plot work! £15 in vouchers...that’s kike £60 to you by the time you’ve been round and sussed out all the bargains - top prize!
ReplyDeleteWell done you - from weeds to that is amazing in such a short time. Happy WOYWW. Have a lovely week. With love & God Bless, Caro x (#6)
ReplyDeleteWell done on your certificate, you must have worked hard in your allotment. And well done for having vouchers to spend. Happy WOYWW
ReplyDeleteWell deserved as I'm sure you must have worked hard for this. Enjoy the voucher which I'm sure you wont find any difficulty using. Wishing you a very happy though rather late woyww, Angela x13x
ReplyDeleteYay Kyla, well done. You must have been working really hard on that allotment. There's nothing like harvesting your own produce and then cooking it for dinner the same day. Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
