Re: Life on the allotment !
Hi Fletcher.
If we are to believe what the weather boffin's are telling us, you don't have 10 days to complete your tasks. They are telling us terrible snow is coming next week.

Re: Life on the allotment !
I'm assuming the fact that snow is being reported in the National Press, means that it is happening in the south (only time they bother to mention anything). So I'm hoping that means it won't reach up north - we'd need 6 foot snow drifts up here before we get a mention by the red tops lol (one flake in the Capital and it's headline news)

Re: Life on the allotment !
Completed what I needed to do.
Only have the compost heaps to move.
Plus my old shed (hired from the association (put the at thingy in here)£8/annum) has been replaced with a bigger better built one. I will be able to sit inside it watching the weeds grow whilst I sunbathe.
We had sleet today but no snow, allegedly there is some somewhere in the wild and woolly parts north of Watford Gap.

Good to hear from you again
You know what they say about too much work
At least you have the allotment to give you another interest, although I know it is also hard work.
Dont leave it so long next time

Re: Life on the allotment !
Haven't had time to get up the plot since last post.
Probably just a quagmire now.

Acko, good to see you again. As long as you keep coming home to us when you can, we are happy.

Re: Life on the allotment !
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 and training rooms as a CIEH accredited training centre early in 2014.
I am ready for the cirque de soleil now - ace at jumping through hoops !!
So....... all you growers out there get wrapped up when you collect your frozen Brussels for Xmas lunch !!
See you all next year on here and have a great holiday period !
to all you allotmenteers !!
