Allotments 4 All

Besides all the creepy and crawly things. Whilst clearing my shed for the Lottie move I found an old Ford Escort Front Light fitting??? mmmmm Ive no idea how it got there as I havnt had my escort since 1986, and the shed only went up 2 years ago. That got me thinking Whats the most unusual thing you found/keep or do in your shed?

wow it must be massive is that at the lottie or at home

What allotment DVD it sounds fascinating?

 ;D ;D
Lol Wardy.....I have the dvd of the Allotment too.......my shed is the boot of my car!! Th tiny "shed" left by previous owner leaks too much to put anything in it. But when I get my new one (God bless Santa) it already has a parrafin lamp ready, and a kettle, and chairs waiting, plus contents of boot!! May well spend next years hols at the plot!!

The dvd is still available from Wildfire Productions I think......but if you google "allotment dvd" you will find it!!

It's this one (note signed copy!)


There's an hilarious 'Allotment Performance Art' episode which hasn't been discussed on here as much as I would like ::) but despite that, it's well worth owning even though there is stuff on it that you'll already know.
Right Darlings , I'm off to perform Tess of the D'Urbervilles with a cast of onions and leeks.

OooooErrrrrrrrrr thats a very posh shed Wardy  :o

I'm not doubting his enthusiasm and I can imagine he'd get up the noses of a few people I know as well.
The trouble is that us gritty Northern types aren't ready for performance art just yet - our archaic views on life are set in stone.
I didn't acknowledge the existence of the artichoke till 1997.

Whats an Artichoke then?   

Being even further north means I,m much more archaic and much less posh and aint got a clue about artichokes but my shed has leccy so also has light for dark nights - I know I know I'm showing off now!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

Bloody brilliant! That made me laugh more than anything has for weeks ;D ;D You should copyright it - or put a health warning on it, as I just spat coffee all over my keyboard!

Cheers,
Rob ;)

Wow Wardy thats not a shed its a social club?? ;D
Do you hire it out for weddings and birthdays. ;D
Im only jealous. It looks brilliant
Chris

Lovely shed Wardy.  Makes both mine look rather grim!

In my shed at home is everything to do with the garden...lawnmower, 60 trillion 3inch plant pots, paint, tools, all the usual boring stuff really, and the shed on the plot isn't much more exciting!

 We could have a fish n chip reception  ;D

........and some performance artists!

I have got one of those bathing hut sized sheds - 4 X 6.  It has a nice formica drop leaf table, loads of pondshop tools, loo roll, coffee making stuff (just add a flask), 1st aid kit, vase of silk flowers, binliners and carriers, pegs, jaggy string, boots, black bucket (you know the rest), dirt, welcome mat and various boys things - hammer etc.  In the other, larger, shed on the other plot the shed is completely full of 'stuff'. When we move plots a thorough clear out is in order.

I'm taking bookings for 'Mutha get the coals in' a play what I writ about Northern folk and their fight against bigotry and  ignorance of performance art in 1930's Oldham.
The tickets may be viewed as expensive at £50 per person but at least it keeps the oiks away.

I had a clear out at home and found some lovely material to put up at the hut window.  Must take some loo roll along next time.  I have a wheelbarrow and some tools.  Spare gloves, in case I forget to take some with me.  

I could do with some strong hooks and one to hang the car keys on.  I keep waiting for the day when I drop the keys on the plot and can't get home, so a nice handy hook in the shed would be ideal.

I found some small horse shoes whilst digging the plot and have nailed them on the shed door.

The earth is my stage and the planet my auditorium. (although if it rains it's off)

Flat caps and whippets esential ?

Lol Pete...I live in Oldham...performance art round here is what happens on Friday nights outside the kebab shops!
Usually it involves a starring role by the boys in blue!!
