Thank you, Maz ... :-) * curtseys, sorry I forgot ... Going off site because every time I see 1 new message I think to myself oh no!! (then sigh of relief!)

Joy, next time I will buy some in a different colour, just for you :-) Pat, remember you have sworn an oath of allegiance to me ... Maz. XX

Hi Jean Glad you had a lovely day. I have seen Maz's photos and the difference in the photos are amazing. Well done Maz Julie xx

Hi Aunty Jean, Glad you had a great day! I bet that Maz went on and on about her 'Royal blood' though didn't she? Patx

Couldn't you paint them black, Maz?

Joy, sorry luv! Mine are green, but they are very nice, unlike some :-) Maz. XX

That's the thing Caz...Maz' looks great now but I saw it almost from the beginning and know how hard she has had to work to 'knock' into shape. Mind you she is beginning to reap the rewards now. Glad you have got yours but I don't envy you the hard work:))) Jean x.

Sounds lovely Jean, I will ask maz for tips as we have just got ours and it has huge potential, an orchard and everything, But it is a tip and needs a lot of work, Caz xxxxx

that's great Jean-good for the kids to take an interest in stuff like this I am so jealous of my brother where he lives and when he comes back home he brings me loads of stuff organic and such. Would love to just go down to the garden and pick a cabbage and some carrotts to go with the sunday roast. well done Maz!!! catherine xx

Glad to see you had a nice time ... but please don't ever mention that word wellies again. Though having said that, I shall probably receive another PM soon. Back later.

Catherine.... Maz has done wonders. When she first took over the allotment in Feb. it was just all brambles. She cleared all of those and has planted up quite a lot of it now with vegetables and fruit. My grandson has shown a real interest and they were giving out childrens plots today and he has taken one on. Bless. Remains to be seen how hard he will work at it :)) Jean x.

Gwyn... very disappointed to see they were just ordinary wellies no Royal crest to be seen LOL. Jean... am on a promise for some Charlotte potatoes but they are not quite ready yet.... Maz says :))) Jean x.

Sounds like you had a great day- An allotments sounds top always wanted one-never knew how you went on getting one though. Have you got veggies and stuff? My brother lives in gloucestershire he got acres of land and grows veggies. catherine xx

That sounds great. I enjoy those sort of events. ( Do Royal people, *low curtsey* wear special Wellies for gardening?) Gwyn

Hello lovely :-) so glad you enjoyed the day - it was great wasn't it?! and I got to show off my allotment AND my Royal heritage to you pmsl (((hugs))) Maz. XX

Maz in the East End has an allotment and today the site had a Childrens Open Day which included building a wigwam, pond dipping, butterfly walk, etc etc. The whole site is a conservation area and is an oasis of calm in a very busy, noisy part of London. She very kindly invited me, my daughter and grandson who is 7. The weather was very good to us and it didn’t start to rain until after we had decided to leave. Thankyou Maz for a wonderfully, enjoyable and different day out and for introducing my grandson to a gardening hobby which I am sure he will have for the rest of his life. Jean x.
