Thank you for all the good wishes! I’ve finally got round to posting a couple of pics from not long after he was born.
And some other good news….. I spoke to the Clerk to the Parish Council and I’m 3rd on the allotment waiting list, but should go to the top as there are 2 plots to allocate (apparently they should’ve been allocated in December but the meeting was postponed) and should the 2 people ahead of me want them then I go to top of list :0)
I know it sounds a bit sad, but I’ve wanted an allotment for a few years now and this is the first time we’ve ever lived close enough to plots for it to be a reality (as I can’t drive, so any plot has to be within easy walking distance). In addition there’s a bit of a pile of cardboard boxes (ok a large pile of rubbish) in our back garden and the boxes would be great to cover part of any plot (as chances are it’ll be a mess and need clearing) - plus a couple of old chairs and a table which would provide a valuable resting place :0)
Our back garden is a bit of a mess, but I’m a little tied there as we’re planning a conservatory this year so I don’t want to go ahead with any other plans until that’s built and the resultant mess is cleared. I plan for the raised bed by what will be a patio to become a herb garden and I want to train a couple of fruit trees against the fence as it’s a lovely sunny spot. The back bed will be for some soft fruit - but much of what I want to do needs to wait until the conservatory is built (which will be our craft and play room).
So I’m all excited now as the allotment seems to be coming a couple of steps closer……
(Slings'n'things)
He’s absolutely gorgeous
You must be so happy and proud of your family. Well Done!

Aw he’s lovely!! Congratulations again!
We’ve got an allotment this year too which we got in similar circumstances. We’re sharing ours with some HE friends which hopefully will help with the motivation, as our garden is a mess too!
