Sue Gollop said… Hello Mo
Welcome Mo! I like your snowy picture-this must mean only one thing, you have not been able to get to your allotment and you could not pull your parsnips or pick your sprouts for Christmas! That's my story anyway from snowy, frozen Bridlington. A Happy New Year to you all and wonderful vegetable dreams for the future. I am wondering how to spend my £20 gardening voucher I got from a thoughtful Santa.
