I just love my summer house. I'm sure I will enjoy it even more next *Summer* when I can sit in a chair on my deck and admire all my lovely veg growing  ;D. I still cannot believe I was lucky enough to get this (half)allotment. Makes all the hard work so worthwhile  :)

Wow, wow, wow! It looks great, I fell in love with your plot when you posted pics last time and now it looks even better! Well done you, you have obviously worked hard.

Did you say the summerhouse was already there when you took over the plot? If so you are a very lucky person. Keep posting updates it's great to see others progress.  ;D

Yes Glosterwomble, the summer house and the deck were already there. Apparently the previous lottie owner spent over £1,000.  :o They are both only two years old.

Well I usually arrive anytime between 7:30 and 8:00am and leave about 3:00pm four days a week. Well I take Tuesdays off for retail therapy  8)

I hope somebody does take me up on the BBQ or I'll have to *Pig Out* alone.  ;D And that won't be fun  ::)
