The "Novice" Allotment Holder.

The "Novice" Allotment Holder.  

This is true dear readers:

Another creature I met on my allotment saunters is the"novice" allotment holder.  Lets call him Mick the new lad.  He informed me that he was sick and tired of playing darts and he wanted:

"Summat to do."

"At the weekends."

The poor man was bored and was in need of an hobby or leisure pursuit.  Especially when it wasn't the football season.    

Oh to watch a live football match, eat a potato pie and drink a cup of Bovril.  Maybe even a pint of bitter?  Something else to miss from Blighty.  Rock concerts too.  It's enough to make you put your name down for an allotment.  I have my own but it's  not the same without the characters is it?

Any road:

I informed him that I was an allotment grower.  I suggested that he got himself an allotment to show his family what an hunter, gatherer, he was or wasn't?  He was quite enthusiastic to the idea and I managed to secure him the tenancy of an half plot. 

He was duly delighted with his new plot.  Until he realised  that the four foot high plot of grass and Rose-bay willow herb was his new Potager.  He was quite taken back and expected his'new' plot to be dug over, ready for him!

"Yeah right!"

"Pull the other one.  There are bells on it!"

He soon got over his disappointment and duly rushed down to Wilkinsons in the High Street and purchased a new spade (toy) and an array of vegetable and flower seeds which he purchased in OCTOBER!  

A month or two later.  I went to see how he had been getting on with his new vegetable endeavours.  In fact he had managed to clear SIX feet square of soil.  It was just after Christmas.  I asked him how he was enjoying his new hobby?

"I don't know Dave."

He says.

"I can't understand why none of my vegetable seeds have come up"/germinated.

The silly billy had only sowed and planted his Summer vegetables in WINTER !

  2. God loves a trier JayCee. At least he didn't just erect a shed and move in and escape from the missus and white goods? Novice Allotment had a go. I am chief digger and weeder and the wife sows and cooks the lovely veg.🥪

  3. Poor lad! He was probably a full blood Lancastrian whereas your genes were enriched by your Irish ancestors.

  4. Ha,ha. He was from Cheshire actually YP. My mother's grandmother came from Wrexham. So I have English, Irish and Welsh genes.

    1. I used to like American genes - Levi and Wrangler but I haven't worn any for years!

  5. Ha,ha. I always laugh when I hear Americans say "I'm Irish American." I have even got a great great grandfather from somewhere in Yorkshire. Levi Strause was a clever man during the Gold Rush. Instead of searching for gold he sold denim and work tools. Clever chap,

    1. You have a smidgeon of Yorkshire blood in you? Oh - that is so nice to hear! In contrast with you I am 100% Yorkshire - no Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Derbyshire, Russian, French or Italian blood at all. But if you reach further back in time I am of Viking descent. No wonder I am so bloodthirsty!

    2. More than a smidgeon YP. Do I detect some Wiltshire blood with you using the word smidgeon?😀 I think we all have Viking, Roman, Norman....genes.

    3. They didn't have denim in those days.

  6. Levi Strauss and co. Silly autocorrect.

  7. Another interesting character. At least he gave it a go.

  8. You're right Linda. Perhaps if he had some help tackling his overgrown jungle of an allotment he might of reaped the benefits of his labour?😊

  9. My children's father is Irish and very proud of the fact. When my son and daughter in law (who is Boston Irish, and her family is equally as proud of their heritage) went to Ireland 3 years ago, they were advised to NEVER, NEVER talk about their Irish heritage that it upset the Irish. So they went and they truly enjoyed their time in Ireland driving from the east to the west, and stopping wherever they pleased. People were friendly and they loved the pubs and the music, and they never felt like strangers, always welcomed. At one of the pubs, though, a very drunk old man, said, "So where are you from? And Dylan said, "Pennsylvania." And the man said, "What is your nationality?" And Dylan said, "I'm an American." "No, where does your family come from?" And Dylan said, "Pennsylvania." He knew what the man was after. And the man kept pestering and said, "What is your heritage?" and Dylan said, "Okay, I'm Irish, is that what you want to hear?" And the man roared, "Heeeeeeeeeere we go...."

    1. I think Ireland missed the American tourists this year Debby. I have quite a broad Lancastrian accent. Some one asked me the other day if I come from Yorkshire. Another one is when some one asks me how long am I on holiday? "Nearly twenty years" is my reply.

  10. I had a dragon of a great-aunt growing up. An ex teacher, widowed in WWI, she liked kids, and she used to tell me that everyone is allowed to make any mistake once. Making that same mistake again was not on. What happened to the novice. Did he turn out to be a fine gardener?

  11. Your 'dragon' of a great aunt sounds very sensible.

  12. Your great aunt sounds very wise. Novice Allotment holder gave up his plot and went back to playing darts.

  13. DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A CURE FOR HERPES? Well here is my testimony about a doctor who helped me when I was infected with HERPES on September 22, 2014, I went to many hospitals for cure but there was no solution, so I was thinking how can I get a solution so that my body can be okay. One day I was online and i saw the testimony of Mrs Amy Kendral speaking on how a man called Dr Razor helped her Eradicate the Herpes Simplex Infection that was eating her up every day, I Immediately emailed the Herbal Doctor Razor with the Details provided by This Woman on how to reach Him and I explained everything to him. Dr Razor told me all the things I needed to do and also gave me instructions to take a wish I followed properly. Before I knew what was happening after 18 days of taking the medication I started having changes in my body, so i told the herbalist of the development in my health and he asked me to go for a medical check up, the Doctors There were Amazed that Herpes have a Permanent and complete cured. Doctor Razor's website :  https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome. You can Reach him on his Email via drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com .

Before deciding to write this testimony so that many who are Battling with different kinds of Challenges Can also get cured.

  14. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

  15.  ***PLEASE READ*** 
    I can never thank you enough DR.BALBOSA for the wonderful work you did for me and my kids to bring back my husband. Am stella Andre from England. I was having serious relationship problems with my husband and he was no longer committed to me and our kids, when i asked him what the problem was he told me he has fell out of love for me and wanted a divorce and  i was so heart broken, i cried all day and night, it had resulted in him moving out to his friend’s apartment. Everything got worse because he started going to bars and strip clubs frequently with his friend, getting drunk and passing out. He always threatens me on the phone whenever I call him because of all the bad advice that his friend has given him. I really love him and we had been married for 8 years which gave us a beautiful daughter and a son. I had also lost a lot of money on therapists until I was introduced to DR. BALBOSA by a friend whom he helped to marry her childhood boyfriend, this gave me total confidence and strength to get him back. I did all that DR. BALBOSA asked me to do it and I also followed all instructions given to me by DR. BALBOSA to my greatest surprise after 48 hours my husband called me and rushed back home with a brown new car for me and our kids... things just changed between us emotionally, I was the happiest woman on earth that day. my husband now has a good job and stopped drinking and he stopped keeping irrelevant friends. It’s a miracle I never believed was possible because I had lost all hope until I found DR. BALBOSA...contact him today and get your love back i can assure you .... contact him on his Email on: balbosasolutionhome@gmail.com and CALL/ WHATSAPP: +2347048047728... Good luck...
