Good evening, just having a look around the internet at gardening forums.
Me and our lass have been allotmenteering (if that is a word, it is now) since April, well as our lass would point out, Our lass got a half plot, just at the beginning of lockdown, after a 2 year wait. It was a life saver for us both, as it got us out from what could have been a very dark place.
I had put my name down a few days after our lass, but got offered a full plot at the end of August, but as couples can not have differing plots on our allotment site, Our lass gave up her half and moved to the full one which was offered to me. Her name, me being associate.
More room left, meant less cross words. Funny thing I don't like eating vegetables that much, and out lass thinks it is more shrewd to just buy from the supermarket. But we have enjoyed the benefits of getting out, on our new full plot, Our lass is flowers and fruit, I am potatoes mainly, and vegetables and whatever I can grow in the green house.
Our larger plot we nicknamed the crime scene, as it had tape everywhere, and at the end of each day I would send photographs to my wife. At which point, it was suggested I could blog about it, so this is something for the dark nights, will see if it continues in the summer nights.
Well that is about all from us.

Couldn't possibly think what led you t'believe that. But Our lass ribs me about my accent which can be of an occasion cockneyfied, and my wording from Yorkshire, when funnily enough I originate from neither M'duck (<<clue to place of origin)

Thanks and sorry, I saw someone else's signature and thought it was okay to be subtle, as it was not too actually post "come look at my blog" as a post.

Don’t worry me dear. You have a link via your globe under your name. Anyone can click on that :D

Hi, welcome to the forum, when you first said 'me and our lass' I was gonna say north east as thats a saying we use up here... the only guy I knew that said 'me duck' was from Derby way..

Hi, been a funny old time, as Arkwright would have said,
Me and Our lass has been busy with preparing for the season ahead.
In answers to the Questions.
Place of Birth is Nottingham, place of current abode with our lass is the North East. I am trying and failing miserably at converting the area to the use of cob, for what they wish to be called bread buns. But I never give up.
Accent depends on wind direction, some days right Yorkshire, other days a bit cockney (I blame too much 80s TV) some days the ducks get loose.
Hope this helps and thank you for the welcomes.

Bread cake to give it its proper name :lol: :lol:
OurAllotment, I too get mixed up, sometimes if I’m very cross or upset the t’s get dropped, I still have to take a second to think where is up north or down south even though I’ve lived in Leicestershire for over 39 years, but having started out in Yorkshire, then a brief spell abroad, then a couple of years in London no wonder I’m cobobulated lol

I feel like I should say hello again, we have been busy down the allotment and although it seems a funny year we are rolling along. Took a while to get back on this forum as it had forgotten me and me likewise forgotten what I had used as my user name. Anyway I am back, and off to ask a question or two.

Good to see you back.
