Our First Allotment Party

[Two_Sheds]

I suggested ages ago that we have a lotty get togetherl because I only know my immediate neighbours (my plot doesn't get passing traffic).
So it was suggested back that I organise it

I like things simple, so I just typed out a notice saying meet here, last Sunday of the month, bring a bottle & a dish to share. Don't bring old arguments and grudges'


I have some bread on the go, homebrew is chilling ... I'll let you know how it goes.

Hope it turns out well. It's too b****y hot for me to go to mine at the mo - you know how sheltered it is. Will go over this evening.

[Nicos]

Good for you gal!!

Hope it's a big success

[rustylady]

And it's got to be better than watching the football

[Jeanied]

Hmm - maybe the footie will mean fewer allotmenteers showing up? Hope not - hope it goes really well for you TS. But at least there will be a good reason if they don't!

We (16 or so) went from 6pm till 8pm and left the old-timers there, shooting the breeze!
Shirl's fruit tea wine went down a storm: several requests for recipe; nobody ate my strawbs (I think we're all sick of them already).

Lovely evening: we left them all sitting in the sun valiantly trying to empty the cooler box

I went to hit the 'like' button...forgetting where I am
Well Done for sorting it out and pleased it went well.x

[binley100]

Sounds like you had a good time.....( I'd 'ave ate some strawbs, not fed up with them yet )

[rustylady]

Glad it went well - are you planning another one for next month?

[Two_Sheds]

Yes, last Sunday of every month unless the weather is bad.

And it was really nice to be able to prowl around someone else's Really Well Kept Compared To Mine lotty

[piskieinboots]

....someone else's Really Well Kept Compared To Mine lotty

but you are always a source of inspiration so you are

Glad it went well, sounds a lovely idea

[Flummery]

Great idea there Two Sheds. You might just have started an honoured tradition! (My daughter reckons if you do something more than twice it's a tradition!)

[frogdoctor]

We`re having one too

Two_Sheds I think your get together`s are a great idea, we are having one on our site on the 18th July, it`s to do with the Eden project`s "The big lunch" and if ours is a success, then maybe it will happen again next year..

[Two_Sheds]

Oh, that'll be good. *trots off to look up the Big Lunch
