Thank you all for the messages
OH, I haven't had the tartan slippers yet. There is a present on it's way from my son in Uganda, although I don't think the local's make them in a tartan finish
With the allotment situation, I used to have a plot here when I lived here in the early 80's. When I moved back about 18 months ago, I was shocked to see that the site was only a fraction of the size to what it had been. I got on the waiting list, but there was virtually no chance of me ever getting to the top of the list. I contacted the parish council of the next town along, but they were adamant that I would have to live in their area to get one, even if they had one available. However, recently they have decided to relax this rule, and are offering a 5 perch site to out of parish residents. Hopefully this will all be tied up in the next few weeks. There is a very active association at the site, and a lot of money has been spent on security fencing and suchlike. Apparently the plots they have in mind are overgrown ( surprise, surprise
), but for a donation to the association, they will clear it and rotovate it to get you started. So, fingers crossed, it will be all systems go before too long.
Cheers PJ.
I'm just off down the greenhouse. I won't be long...........
