Back to work today after one day on the allotment finding and repairing fence damage in the recent gales - luckily not as bad as others due to use of Met posts as securing attachments to my fence posts. Two repaired panels had damage, one of which will be a full replacement. Sheds secure, no glass o...

This could be my last post of the year, as i have two days to finish far too much work and I''ve dragged in a part timer to aid me finish time scaled deadlines. The plots go well and I need the Sundays to have a break ! Work wise - trying to sort out a local authority grant loan to set my offices an...

Sorry i've been off the site for so long - too much work!

Still on the allotment weekly and both plots thriving.

Bit like me, now I have 2 businesses to run - just so busy that I don't seem to have idle time to scan the pages and reply - my allotment slot is not as overgrown though - the 2 plots are thriving !!

Escaping the rat race for five days from tomorrow - jetting out with the other half to Germany to see 6 little grandchildren and have a whale of a "spoil the kids" weekend.

So, it's a sub on the allotment watering up at the weekend as well !

Forcing myself to stop working at home at night so that I can enjoy a quiet time watering both plots and reaping the fruit harvests. 8 kgs of strawberries from two 6 foot beds over the last week - they struggled to produce last year.

When I have time, I'll go through the 9 page tale and hopefully avoid your doctors and hospital for my blood pressure! I got rid of my statin tablets for cholesterol last year by c...

Keith, pm me - I have full wireless cctv in my street as chair of my neighbourhood watch - SD card recording, or wireless signal to a pc in the house.

I'm a member of the FSB, locally to me, had a couple of reasonable jobs for their H&S needs, especially the local chairman who has a large hardware / locksmith warehouse and on line service. There are few meeting opportunities to network, and my local group struggles to raise meeting attendances...

Getting back on track now after a good couple of Sundays down on the allotments. Two grass cuts on the orchard plot has filled up the compost bins and will start heating them up nicely! Two new fruit trees planted on orchard plot 2, no more room left now. Fence repairs completed, one gate repair com...

Life on the allotment - miles behind with everything due to the lousy endless Winter / ghost Spring we had in Feb / March up to April, then I contracted the worse flu bug in my life and had two & a bit weeks off work, let alone nothing done on the allotment. Had two hours putting a replacement r...
