They have been served with a Section 21 which means they are about to become homeless through…

Overwhelming Kindness
I recently had a bit of a situation as some of you will be aware, and yes it was of my own making. I will also admit that I took a bit of a confidence hit with it too. I let stress overwhelm me and made some very big mistakes because of it. But it…

I am an idiot
I’ll try to keep this brief if you keep your laughing at me to a minimum! Had a bit of a stressful night last night. We were hit by storm Eowyn or whatever it was called. I was worried about my polytunnel and the fence and I was right to be. The polytunnel held firm,…

Harvey and the Mandela Effect
This is a weird one. Just in case you aren’t aware, the ‘Mandela effect’ is a term which was invented to apply to things which people remember but didn’t actually happen. A false memory if you like. When I checked online, I found this definition: The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where a large group of people collectively…

Big thaw = Plot progress!
At last we got back to the allotment I was very happy to get back to the plot today after all the ice had finally melted. It’s been hard to see everyone else on YouTube working on their plots or gardens and sowing their seeds and I haven’t been able to get through a wall…

Finally, we have started to defrost. I was beginning to wonder if I’d ever feel warm again – and I wasn’t the only one: I haven’t been able to get to the allotment for AGES. I can’t sow anything but this is the time of year to get the preparation done. I have paths to…
