Conclusive Proof that having an allotment is good for your health

I was chatting to John Maule at the gates to Craigentinny recently and he told me he has had his plot for 50 years !!!! Either he arrived as a baby with his parents or allotments really do keep you young. If you go to allotment tales on the website there is a great post all about the plot and some of the activities that went on in the 1970s
