I have had an update!
According to the Chairman of Lydd Allotments - a good friend of mine, who I spoke with this morning, I am second on the list, and two or three plots maybe become available in the next month.
However, my old plot was one of those coming up, and knowing it as well as I do, with half the topsoil having been removed, and packed with stones and crushed tiles, I said that I didn't want it, and that I'd rather wait longer and get a half-decent one. Beggars can't be choosers as they say, but I'm not in the begging category just yet. Luckily, time is on my side . . . at the moment!
