I..............for my self am quite good allotment just about "put to bed" for winter.
I still have a few bits growing & will be planting out my broad beans in about three weeks.

Tell Madderbat hello for me, would you?
My garden is put to bed for the winter now. A few tomatoes wrapped in newspaper upstairs in a cold room; hoping I can get them out to ripen in a few weeks.

Wow that looks impresive, will keep maps to hand as im sure i would get lost in the new development

[Charnwood Fox]

Apparently the planning application has just been submitted, presumably by William Davis Ltd.
The only specifics in the local rag is 122 houses and apartments.

There were proposals for a pub (*Lonny only 100 yards away - closed down), convenience store (*Norman's and the Londis are both very close), hotel (**East Midlands Hotel, 200 yards away - demolished) and multi-storey car park.

*Is this developement supposed to be big enough to support these additions to the local amenities?
**Will London boroughs again send their asylum seekers to fill this establishment as they did with the EMH?
