Allotment Society 61st Annual Horticultural Show

Wow, what a visual treat this was! Trinity Church Hall played host to this year's showcase of the finest fruit, vegetables, flowers, cakes, jams, pies, quiches... ok, so you get the picture. Basically, the lecture hall was adorned with tables full of neat rows of the most colourful and splendid examples in each category and it was an eye-opener too. Never before have I seen such long Parsnips and such enormous Onions! I am immensely impressed by the skill and dedication it takes to produce such fine produce and hopefully the snaps I took do the subject justice. I only wish we could buy these fruit and vegetables at our local supermarket and not produce that has been shipped half way across the world! These look far, far better and are of course local.
