  • Rollover lottery...

    You've just won this Sunday's 14.5 million.

    What would you do with your allotment?

    It would become a bigger part of my life. I could go every day and it would be immaculate.

    And if I went on Hols.....I would employ Monty Don to look after it for me!!!!

    What would you do?

    Loving my allotment!

    Monty would be the last person I'd have in my plot. He doesn't garden in my style and that would still be important to me. Sarah Raven apart from her dress sense would be fine or I could go for luxury with Rachel de Thame but then she's not my kind of gardener either.

          I'd give up my allotment, as I'd have my growing space on my new land that I'd buy.

            Yep...the lottie would be gone for me too and replaced by acres of land around my house....Oh to be able to just nip out the back door and dig up some tatties*dreams.

                Go on holiday for a few weeks and draw up plans. Buy land. Build house. Build/landscape gardens. Order several huge glass house or polytunnels. Buy chickens and pigs. Buy houses/pay mortgages off and cars for those close to us and a pad in London village for the boss to go shoe shopping! And a kick ass play ground and tree house for the kids!

                  If I won that kind of money, I'd buy a load of land, and make some new allotments for other people!

                  Myself? I'd buy that small farm I saw on holiday in Somerset.....

                    Land, land, and more land, with lots of trees - I like trees. I'd also build a Straw-bale House, with a Green-Oak frame, and gothic arches all over the place.

                    Then I wake up...

                      I'd buy myself some land, give up the allotment - there is a waiting list, but I would install electricity, build a toilet and shower block and make a donation to the committee funds so that they could add other improvements that they all want. It would be great!

                        Well, now, once I'd got the walled kitchen garden and orchard with its automatic watering system and two glasshouses built and into production on the land I would buy around the house I would build, backing onto the woods I would plant, I'd quite like to cruise first class across to New York to do my Christmas shopping, then fly home first class, and hang the expense of excess baggage!

                          Me too - I'd buy a house (not too big) in the country with two or three acres of land, including, ideally, an established apple orchard with some cider-apple varieties in it, and go self-sufficient. There's a house just outside Hemel Hempstead, where I live, that's in an acre or two, which is shamefully under-used - it's all just grass. If only I won that £14m, and it came on the market at the same time!

                            We've won the lottery three Saturdays in a row. We now have a fortune of thirty quid and are going out for a meal on night off.

                              no point in dreaming there's not much chance of winning ......I'd need to actually buy a ticket first
