Allotments 4 All

And another thought, if youv'e found a suitable bath, you could go sailing on the high seas looking for fish crates...........therefore staying relatively dry. ;D

No Maggie, I actually got the other two at an auction full of interesting gardening junk...treasure, and they all say Property of Hull Fish Traders Association or something similar on them, so I am not sure if they are legally mine !! XX Jeannine

A gardening auction....that sounds great fun and a really good idea.Off to think about who I can suggest it to......... ;)

I GOT A BATH,  I GOT A BATH..............I got one, and I din't have to ask anyone, we found it.

Driving along today with John on a very busy dual carriageway that runs alongside a very posh neighbourhood  on the ring road we passed a bath, honest, I am not kidding. A fly tipped bath on the neat grass verge.

Despite many protests,and in broad daylight, and at peak time, I managed to persuade John to turn around at the next roundabout  and go back, again to a roundabout, and back to the bath.

Lorries flying past, back seats down, bungy cords missing, but he got it in and we moved to a safer bit to tie it down with the covers of the school booster seats.

My darling quiet man, very embarrassed and wishing  a hole would appear to save him, got it in the car, with much cheering from me I might add, and we got it to the lottie. He promptly hid it, saying  after all the trouble he didn't want it nicked.

So, a fibre glass job, complete with a framework of legs will be boxed in for my precious Mokem carrotts. It even has the waste pipe from the plug hole, drainage  for the crop of course and I could plug it  at the end of the pipe in dry weather.

It has been a glorious day.

2 new books from Amazon, 2 new push hoes and two tomato plants all came in the mail today

We got rhubarb for crumble, plus asparagus, radishes, lettuce, the first real cucumber and new poatoes from the lottie today , and on the way home I got  me a bath.

Oh life is good today .

XXX Jeannine...... singing as she signs off

 ;D ;D ;D
I wish I could've seen john's face, it's normally ray who does all the 'daft' things, we took 4 trips to get tyres to the plot that had been dumped at the side of the road, 6 at a time, in a micra..mind you, that was a few yeas ago, can't see him doing it now, his back'd go  ;D
made up for you  :)

I promised I wouldn't tell, but it wasn't a real promise, I had my fingers crossed behind my back!! Tomorrow I will get a picture of me in my bath at the lottie, weather allowing of course XX Jeannine

in your sou' wester and wellies, if the weather forecast is to be believed  ;D

That is a very funny story Jeannine, and I cannot wait for the photo. ;D ;D

I get strange looks and remarks from people I know when I ask them to save me all their cardboard toilet rolls tubes (Minus the toilet paper) they are great for starting plants off in. just crumple one end over to form a cup type thing.

A picture of John in the bath scrubbing his back would be a classic.  :o :-[ :P ::)  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

John said no....reason....he doesn't want to be responsible for women going crazy at the sight of his bod.

I have no illusions  so I will try to remember the camera tomorrow. XX Jeannine

PS, My John is staring to get very intersted in A4A, he keeps reading the posts!!

hiya, john  :)

Nice to meet if only in cyberspace.

Now you behave yourself and if not I can be bribed XX Jeannine

Well the long awaited me in the bath picture....NOT XX Jeannine

ray wants one to fill with water, I think it'll make an excellent carrot bed  :)

So many pics from you tonight Jeannine. You are a regular david Bailey!! ;)

cj :)

Ha, Jeannine I had thought you'd be in the bath complete with plastic duck, loofa, bubbles and bath hat at least, (and a cozzie to uphold your modesty).
It looks a splendid bath just the same. ;D
