Carole Baxter’s Visit

It was a pleasure to welcome Carole on site today.  The warmth of her personality was very much-needed to brighten what was an exceptionally dull, cold day – more like February than April.

Carole was gathering material for her Radio Scotland programme, “Out for the Weekend” which comes out on Friday afternoon.

New site feature – Photo Galleries

Our site has a new photo showing feature.  From now on photo collections will appear via the Galleries link above.  Photos should look better and load faster.  Please let me know how you get on using it.

The first set has some nice photos from our recent Community Sunday – as you see, great fun was had by all and with a good turnout we got lots of valuable things done.  There wasn’t much doubt about who won the Chocolate Easter Egg Hunt! Thanks to all who managed along.

In the meantime the Photos Page link will be left in place as a way of looking back to previous photo collections, but I’ll hope to move them over to the new Galleries area if it proves reliable and popular.

Carole Baxter April Visit

Carole is a regular visitor to Garthdee Field as you know and plans to be back with us on April 26 from around 10.00.  Carole will be hoping to record some material for her Radio Scotland programme, Out for the Weekend.

If you would like to meet with Carole, please come along.  We cannot promise, but for sure Carole will want to meet as many plotters as time allows.

Carole has been very supportive of our efforts in the past, personally donating flowers to the South Bank and taking a great interest in our activities in the Community Garden and on our plots.

Please do try to find the time to come along with any questions or stories you want to tell.  The more the merrier!

Phew – Scorching HOT!

It was hot work indeed at today’s bonfire, but as always, at the end of the day, it was Plotters 1 (Won) Rubbish 0 (Gone).  There is a joke in here somewhere, but I am still too tired to work it out!  Suggestions on a postcard please.  Apologies to all those who missed out on the photo.

Farm and Horse Manure

A number of our plotters have used this service. Thanks go to Gill on Plot 64 for the original contact.  Gill can give you more info if needed.

If you give it a go, please let us know how you get on.
