To me the point is the game, the garden full of produce etc., not the prize. If you need the prize you will never ever be happy. And with all the digging you did even as far as digging a friend's plot too, you deserve the award! Hope those beets taste wonderful to you. I hate them! I'd sure love a homegrown tomato though.<br /><br />Enjoyed your story. I have seen too many rude Americans. Yes, others can be rude too but they seem to have more manners about it.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252122811035264254.post-38179226254043322682011-07-28T12:19:02.540+01:002011-07-28T12:19:02.540+01:00Congratulations on your plot win, Ralph!

So sorry that you dealt first hand with a rude American. Hopefully we're not all painted with the same brush! (Hah! I just realized what I said to an artist!

I was with a bunch of golfers and I was shocked how LOUD they seemed! I swear, I don't think most Americans have to YELL everything they think in their heads...but then again, maybe they do! LOL. Sorry! Congratulations on your award. I have a feeling most everything you do is to the best of your ability. That's Ralph!Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252122811035264254.post-3915023069081699132011-07-27T13:53:44.366+01:002011-07-27T13:53:44.366+01:00Congratulations!

I could tell by the way you talked about working on your plot these past months that it must be the prettiest, most bountiful plot in all of Scotland! <br />(fluctuations, that's so funny!

I assume that you gave your trophy to your daughter-in-law? Otherwise you would have returned to a patch of weeds! Next year, I keep saying next year I will have a good garden! We haven't had much sun this year.Jerry Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024087888949143035noreply@blogger.com
