What a plot!
(From The Northern Echo)
Byline: BRIGID PRESS
Gardening Correspondent BRIGID PRESS is impressed by the community allotment at Blackhall Colliery
Location: Blackhall Community Allotment, Blackhall Colliery Age of garden: Opened mid August 2003 Size: 20m x 40m Number of users: 69 Most used tool: hoe
ONCE you pull off the A19, the drive down into Blackhall winds its way through some beautiful countryside.
The trees that line the road are stately, mature and statuesque, gaps in the stout hedges reveal fields full of dancing red poppies, and there are lay-by signs advertising freshly grown organic vegetables for sale. If you didn't know any better, you could be in the film set of a gentle but intriguing, plot twisting, village murder mystery television series that gets solved by the two elderly ladies who make the cricket teas.
The next bend in the road, though, completely throws the compass out of orientation as it opens up a panoramic view of the Durham coastline with the blue waters of the North Sea melting into the summer skyline.
