It is with a heavy heart that I have learned that my old mucker and internet comrade, Mystic Veg, has decided to hang up his trowel and retire from writing his blog.
For more than two years, Mystic has charmed us with his tales from the allotments of Lincolnshire. Ever since his first post at the end of May 2007, his ready wit and droll humour has brought a half-smile to my lips on many an occasion. We've not always seen eye to eye, but I've come to respect his esoteric take on life, and will miss logging on to read his vegetable-based stories.
Let's hope that, like Alan Milburn, his retirement is only ever temporary, and that the attractions of spending more time with his family soon pall. There'll be a space on the world wide web waiting for him when he does return, I am sure.

Six rows of carrots gently weep, a radish patch wails and the blackcurrants bend sadly in the wind.
You just wait till the winter when he's nowt to do on the allotment. He'll be back...I hope.
it is sad - he is part of the early adopters of Fuelmyblog :(
the veggie blogworld will be a duller place without him... I do pop in and take a look but sadly I have been an absent commenter with him...I hope too his retirement is only a temporary one .... we will miss him
OK you win, I'm back.
