I think I'll stick with Plan A for the moment. I can always work up from there... View attachment 404585

There's always Plan E, should Plan B fail.

Yesterday, I had a phone call to say that an allotment plot had become available. I got all excited as I want to lower our fresh grocery bill by growing my own.

This morning, I met the parish councillor who took me around the allotments and the plot itself. Great stuff.

I went out on a bike ride and had a missed call and voicemail from said councillor which I thought I’d check when I got home.

Once home, I start unloading the car when the councillor turns up at the house. ‘Sorry, we made a mistake, the plot wasn’t free, the current tenant has paid his rent. But, your first in line on the waiting list.’

Bugger.

It could be another year before one becomes available. My disappointment is palpable. We have a tiny paved garden so now looking at growing vegetables in pots for the time being.

Sorely tempted to post the full specs of a new pc monitor I bought yesterday on Mundane News, although don't want to cause too much excitement.
No, after much deliberation, and as Tom Hanks once said, "This ones just for me!"

I spent the whole morning looking for my tool kit.

It was in the car.

Guess it's what insomnomnomnomnomnomnia does to your brain.

where do you live?? A few years back people were renting corners of their gardens out as allotments. I'd happily do that!

About 4 hours from you, unfortunately!
