Linda and David Willox's allotment in Hornchurch, Essex has won their local 'In Bloom' competition in the past. They think nothing matches the taste of their own strawberries with a glass of champagne! Or the exquisite smell of sweet peas in June. The best part of having an allotment is the home grown produce.
