TEN YEARS

[Lauren S]

Last Thursday (day after my Birthday) I received the call I have waited TEN YEARS for.
"Lauren, do you still want an allotment?"
I was speechless. I just cried out *YESSSSSSSSSS*  ;D
Well, today, I signed the agreement, paid up and got the key.
It was misty, windy, heavy rain at times but I couldn't careless. I wanted to dig, dig dig. Hubby came with me and helped me set out the borders on one section. Unfortunately the old chap who had the plot before me let it go badly. The soil is beautiful underneath all the grass.
The quirkiest feature of the plot is...It has a weird and wonderful *IN THE GROUND* shed the old chap built. Cannot have any structure higher than 4ft as it is right up against the houses boundary.
My son came over and took some *Before Pics* that I will post as soon as he sends them to me.
I only have to pay £10 for this year, and next year I get it rent free as it's so bad...Nice bonus.
I just wanted to share my exciting news with you all.
Nice Birthday Prezzie for me  ;D

Thank you. I still cannot believe it after all these years of waiting. Now I know exactly how everyone else felt when they got their lotties.

After some clearance


Looking a bit clearer

The Back of the *Underground Shed* before Phil strimmed the grass and ivy

The junk we found was unreal. I don't think it had been taken care of for years

[caroline7758]

OMG :o Think I'd be tempted to reach for the weedkiller!

[saddad]

Keep up the good work...!
;D

Wow.  Ten years.  What a wait!  Congratulations.  You have already done so much and perfect timing really.  Autumn and winter ahead to plan plan plan what you are going to grow where.  Plus you can get your overwintering onions and garlics in!  ;D
