Here is an image I inserted - of a poppy from my allotment. I was just taking this shot when Dorothy and Marjorie appeared - I was poised with finger on the shutter when stubby fingers entered the shot and Marjorie shouts ' these are weeds and are not allowed by the allotment society.' It was only Dorothy's lightening reflexes that saved this bloom. She jabbed Marjorie's hand away with the tip of her brolly and explained to her the societies rules on decorative foliage. Marjorie snorted in response and strode off, leaving dents in the grass from her wellie's muttering about her previous societies rules.
There is something very suspicious about that lady.

To blog or not to blog

I'm trying to work out if having a blog is a good thing. Dorothy Fitzpatrick at the WI told me that she gets 10 hits a week on hers, on which she posts her advice to young people on a range of topics from; household maintenance, domestic management, to sexual health, drug abuse and alcohol. Apparently she knows all about the latter having been a huge fan of Irvine Welsh for years. So I thought I'd have  a go. Now I did say I would 'link' to Dorothy but I will have to learn how to do that first!

I  will ask her when next I see her, although not if her new chum Marjorie Pritchard is about.
