Green Welly Brigade

After a slow start to the day, I went out with Michelle to buy an allotment! When it came to the negotiation , we took an elderly village resident with us and after he'd told the guy the fruit trees were passed it, the access too difficult and the ground uncared for, we finaly agreed on a price. Geronimo thought we should have beaten him down more as he obviously didn't need the money but we were well pleased and shook on the deal. Linde and Joëlle are coming in with us so for little investment we'll have a tranquil space of 400sqm to have bbq's, pick fruit and while away our time while the men of the family are running the village (if they get elected that is!). Grandad's tools will finally do more than gather dust in the cave and there will be advice a-plenty from the old 'uns who garden beside us. With trophy-winning gardeners on both sides of the family (Dad and Grandad) I'm hoping the genes will out; at least to grow a few tomatoes, enough fruit for a pie and flowers for the house.
