The Rushmoor in Bloom Awards
night once again passed us by as we were sunning ourselves in warmer climes.
So there is no photo of me with the

was waiting on the door mat on our return.
There are 12 allotment sites in

year only 8 Gold’s and 21 Silver Gilts were awarded.

time I seem to have available these days, a Silver Gilt was, if I say it

runners up in The Best Kept Caravan Awards and received “a nice little earner”!
