    Hello all,
    My name is Graham I live in Halifax west yorkshire,I have 2 little girls Holly is 6 and Lucy is 3.
    I am a HGV class2 Driver for our local dairy.
    I came out of the Army 12 months ago.
    I got into gardening after leaving the army,my father in law has an allotment and I go up to help I find that this chills me out takes my mind elsewhere as I have seen alot of bad things.
    Recently I have turned part of my back garden into my own allotment but my wife wasn't best pleased?? never mind she'll be happy when I grow loads of veg. ;)

    Hello, Mickeylove, and what a lovely name, Mick!

    Perhaps you could grow veg and maybe a few nice flowers for your wife as well?

    You'll get lots of enouragement here, and you can have a bit of fun too to take your mind off past things!

    Welcome to GC and enjoy!

    Hi mickylove welcome to you.How lucky to have an allotment my name is on a waiting list but will be ages before I get one.They are like gold dust where I live.It makes me so angry to see allotment sites around the town that have been left unused for many years and yet so many people would dearly love to have a plot.

    Hi Mickeylove and a warm welcome from me too!

    You'll find lots of interesting topics here to take your mind off the bad things you've seen. Good luck with your veggie gardening and perhaps as LofL says, a few flowers for your wife?
