My allotments make me self sufficientish so if I have to keep the committee going to keep my allotments then so be it. The other things I have been doing have contributed to other people's self sufficiency not mine. That letter has gone on its merry way.

This morning I have had a clear out of old stuff relating to voluntary things I'm not doing any more on the computer. I've done a round robin to the committee of the local allotment association to get approval for an advert to recruit more committee members and to get some help in our association Hu...

( I have no idea why the MoD would need a stable )

For the mascot used in ceremonial parades of course - they often use miniature breeds

I'm in the process of handing over internet related duties that have been taking up too many days each week I might just get around to having time in the real world to be self sufficient. Never volunteer she says. 7 years on one community website and 5 years on a community supported agriculture Face...

This time last year we were "celebrating" a hot and dry summer. The farmers were muttering about how crops would be affected. At the moment the rain seems to be doing an April showers job through May and June. With winds to dry things up as soon as possible after the rain. I hear complaints coming -...

It's sort of raining which is good as the high wind and sun has caused drought conditions here. Whether the rain will amount to much or whether it's out hosepipe even so tomorrow is another matter. If the wind would drop, the summer sun and showers would happen then the allotments would be more will...

Hello Barbara - ask questions and join in. Nice to meet you.

More peas ready to go in ground. Brassicas pricked out and soon to ready to plant on. Squashes ready to go out int...

It seems that if you want a good way to make money - then set up a site with storage facilities . It's the way that people store all their stuff that doesn't fit in their homes. Excuse me. Have I missed something here? I suppose that there are some circumstances but I am completely bemused if truth ...

It might be that the rain stops today. Mind you - it has supposed to be wet all week and yesterday was the first day it rained. And it rained properly. Still the possibility of light frost in the coming days.

Summer?

Summer has left the area at the moment. It's a chill north wind and little sun.

Blooming heck, my tomatoes are only recently into the greenhouse and have some way to go to catch up with the first truss.

I don't know how the other half lives. I go to an over 60s chat club once a week for 9.5 months of the year here in the village (we have a summer break while the leaders do the next programme). Half of the group are totally IT illiterate but can wield the TV channel changer a treat and look at me as...

Ooooh I was going to ask how MKG got a bed that big into the house. And where he bought the bedding for it from. Then I realised he was talking mere gardening .....

Send it over here - drought conditions coming on a treat.
