Finally
So, after a wait of about 7 years a letter asking if I was still interested in an allotment (a long since forgotten dream by now!!!) turned up.
A bit of to and froing by email, and a viewing of the allotment have resulted in me sending my "formal" application for the plot off tonight!
So, here's hoping I will receive my invoice, agreement and key soon :-)
It appears it be in reasonable shape, and upon confirmation of 'ownership' I will be getting pictures/sizes etc.
The last tenant had a few beds; the strawberries are full of buttercups, there are a couple of gooseberry bushes that I'm hoping a neighbour would like to take off my hands (I'd rather not waste them), a bramble patch (that appears to have been cultivated), some parsnips peeping, a bed of leeks, a bed of raspberry canes (need to suss out which they are before hacking them down) and a yet to be confirmed fruit bush to be had.
Then there were a couple of clear beds, a few compost bins, a couple of tyres, a storage container and a pile of overgrown stuff beyond the bins.
The Mr is on board and is going to help clear the overgrown bit with a view to a shed, logstore and greenhouse at one end. He's also going to help relocate my trough and half oak barrel from the front garden - think I will have to empty these for the journey mind.
Got a promise of some rhubarb I can have and my bits from the garden - Cannot wait to get the key and spend some time up there (even though I've lost a square to my 3 year old).
Sorry for the crazy long first ever post there - I'm a bit giddy
