Hi all I haven't been around for a while. I have had a very busy year. Earlier this year a lovely 'doer upper' with a large garden on a road that both myself and my OH always loved came up for sale (it was a road that we never dreamt we would ever be able to afford to live on, but because it needed extensive renovation it was within reach). We had a bit of a rush of blood to the head and put our house up for sale the following week. Ours sold within two weeks and we had our offer accepted. My buyer was a cash buyer and was in a hurry to get in so I went from not even thinking of moving to being in a new house in just shy of 9 weeks 😂😂. Two weeks after moving in we went on holidays (the holiday had been booked prior to us deciding to move). My allotment has been a godsend during this time, I took cuttings etc from the plants in my old house and they are all up in the allotment. Much to my surprise despite the fact that I have been up to my eyes my allotment has been quite productive this year. The first phase of the renovations were completed on Friday so I can now turn my attention to the garden (can't wait to get going at it). I also should have some more time (and internet access) to come back here.
