End of an era



After many years of tending his plot one of our older neighbours, Fred, has decided to call it a day. He always had plenty of great veg growing all year round and his cabbages put the rest of our efforts to shame.

The picture is "Fred's Shed" which I understand will shortly be demolished. Personally I think that it should be made a listed building, but thinking about it maybe it has been listing for years.

That's a sad story. I'm glad, though, that people value gardeners like Fred, and take note of their retirement as you have done. Maybe you could take him the odd few surplus courgettes or runner beans just to stay in touch.

That shed is "something else", isn't it? There ought to be a website for pictures of wonderful sheds like that!

THANKYOU FOR SHOWING US FRED'S SHED

What a lovely compliment to Fred and his glorious shed. I'm sorry to hear it will be demolished but thankyou for sharing with us a beautiful image of an Allotment that displays the resourcefulness and hard work that has been and can be achieved.
Fred you are an inspiration and Happy Retirement.
