I have been growing and showing veg since 1996, a brilliant hobby contrary to popular belief and the views of my mates who think I’m a big poof (I’ve got nothing against poofs however!). This is just a chart of my progress for the 2017 season, if you have any specific questions about ‘showing’ then email me on smithyveg@aol.com and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Blackpool
Yet another few days away from the plot....took Oscar and his mum to Blackpool for a few days. Anyone know how to do a knotted hanky?
I have relatives in Lytham St Annes too. Many fond memories of visiting Blackpool and the Golden Mile as a child. Such an exciting place to go when young, and I used to love those 'Gobstopper' type dispensers outside virtually every shop, I just can't remember what it cost to buy one now, probably about 5p-10p, stick it in the slot, wind the dial clockwise, and miraculously a gobstopper landed in the dispensing chamber below.
Got family in St Anne's, just up the road, so know exactly where you are coming from
ReplyDeleteLove the penny slots on the pier

ReplyDeleteWhy are you and the missus sat upon one of the famous mammoth Irish Sea Blackpool Beached Turds ?
ReplyDeleteAha....is that what they were? Mind you, I'd have expected a washed up turd from Ingleton to know that!
