Title: Oh Happy Day!
Post by: emmy1978 on April 26, 2007, 12:10:27
Just been down to see the plot manager and he's given me another plot!!!
It's smaller than the other one, been rotavated  >:( but it's mine, mine, mine!
Huge THANK YOU to Sarah, who called me this morning to come down and came with me to speak to lovely Arfur. Another THANK YOU to all of you who were so lovely, and inspired me to get potting up and made me much more positive about the whole thing. Am piffling on as am totally over excited, so will just say YAY! one more time.

Yep, feeling very good today it has to be said.
I went up to the old plot to salvage some more stuff, the artichokes my neighbour gave me, some strawbs even though they probably won't do much. Going tomorrow to transplant some lettuce and  the blackberry and raspberry canes. Picked some radishes today too which was nice.
My dad has nicked my bean canes! The bleeping bleep.
It was so easy, I still can't quite believe it. He said "Weeeelll, there's two" So i had a choice! I don't like the other side of the site that much though, bit crowded and not so good to take the kids down. Even though the one i chose is not the best short term choice, i think it's the best long term.
Thanks again to all who posted and pm'd me with fab support.  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Indeed wilko.  ;D
In a way it's quite nice as i think I'm more excited than i was when i got the first one!
Tiny twinge looking at everything coming up in the other...onions, spuds, radish, rocket, plum tree in blossom, woobob ( 5 year old pronunciation)
but the feeling of having my own plot, no strings is hugely liberating and kind of balances it out. A bit.  :-\
I'm very happy. I can't wait to get stuck in. Have chanced my arm on freecycle for a shed before i fork out for one or build it using old doors.
the committee would really love me then!  :o :o

Actually you know three cheers for all of you. There are family that you are born to and family that you choose. I think our chosen A4A family always come through for each other...whatever the need and wherever.

Three cheers to all .. Hip Hip
