One bright spot in an otherwise poor day

Post: # 13850Post glenniedragon »

Car with broken clutch, medical investigations on the horizon, greenhouse emergency (see Arrgh Greenhouse post) today has been pretty poor on a scale of one to ten, but there was a brief ray of sunshine at 4pm as the man from the local council phoned to say I could pop into the council offices and sign the tenancy agreement on my allotment- and pay the whopping £6(!) a year rent, what a bargain! tomorrow can only get better,

kind thoughts

Positive thinking - I like that! Wish I could always see the bright spot...

But £6 for an allotment is really good value. Probably doesn't even cover the administration cost.

£6 is amazing! ours costs more than £40 now! (It pays for itself though!)
