Help! I'm addicted
« on: July 23, 2013, 21:14 »
Have taken early retirement and thought an allotment would help fill some time. Time what time? I'm there every day, I walk round the plot like a lord surveying his estate, I talk to the plants. They must be the most pandered veg going, mind you they taste lovely.

Then when I do get home I'm on here reading getting hints etc.

HELP! Is there any hope.

Mind you I'm enjoying every second.

What with the allotment and the 3 chickens at home the food bill has taken a nose dive, so can afford organic meat and other luxuries.

Am loving this life!!

Yes I do that.  A glass at the end of the plot at the end of the day.  Tis how its meant to be.
(I also make a wicked 8% IPA, personal speciality).
