Oh my God, oh my God, am soooooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!! Yay! oooh!
While the dotted line has as yet to be signed, I can confirm, that by Sunday, I should be the proud renter of an Allotment!!!!
Where I was pretty hopeful last post, I have now had the indepth conversation with the bloke who owns the field, and we are Go! Go! Go! (When I say 'conversation' it was mainly me speaking gibberish and him trying hard to isolate anything sensible he could reply to.)
OMG - Now I feel under pressure - it's already mid-February, I gotta get planting!!!!!
What shall I grow? Will I manage all the digging or will Mr Oubliette be forced, against his sedentary will to join the dig for victory? Will I hate it after two minutes? Am I quite ridiculous to be taking this on with my arthritic joints? Or will the joy of it lift my beleaguered spirits? Will all the wholesome outdoorsiness of it bring a glow back to my checks and help shift a few pudgy pounds from my comfortable frame?
Will I be eating tomato chutney till I'm more tomato than human? Will friends and acquaintance run from me, fearing a 'gift' of yet more misshapen mottled veg?
Oh, the possibilities!!

I AM SOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU. If you need dog poo, for the mushrooms or anything, I can do you a good deal.
Thanks you Niamh!
Its all I can think about!! The kids only just got fed I've been so distracted...
I'm going to have to be careful not to blog too much about it, you know, wouldn't want to, like, bore people...
Thanks for the offer of dog poo. It would be a neat solution for both of us, yes. I'll get back to you though...
I've human poo too. Free! (except for delivery charge) mainly solid but the liquid stuff is mighty!
TFE - how could anyone say no to such an offer?
I think it's only urine you can use. On compost or something.
Meanwhile, whey-hay! The possibilities...
I get told I'm full of shit all the time. I'm not sure that kind of thing is on the "DHL Will Deliver" list of approved products, though. Sorry I can't help.
