» Winning

I won an onion growing competition at work ...
As you can see, my two colleagues didn't put quite as much effort into it as I did (yes, they were all planted around the same time, and the sets were all from the same batch which we nabbed from another colleague). Needless to say we didn't really need the scales ...



I felt a bit guilty about fleecing £10 off them, so I sent said tenner and winning onions home with my OH via Sainsburys - he then purchased some ingredients and added the winning onions into a couple of yummy home made quiches for the office. Win all round!

(The big onion on the bottom left wasn't an entry, it was there to show what we could have done, and the carrot was there so my colleague could prove she could actually grow something).

I still drive ..
... a Morris Minor Traveller at weekends! Yes it's older than me, yes it's slow (unless going downhill with the wind up it's tailpipe!) but it's the one little bit of my history I've managed to hang on to now both 'rents are gone (they brought it new in '71). It's great fun to drive, with none of this modern stuff like reversing lights, brakes etc etc! I do have indicators though ...
