Alright, admittedly we've let things slide with the allotment. This is in fact the first post for more than a year, but we have had a very good reason. We are now the proud parents of little E, a beautiful girl who has been filling up more than enough of our time until now.
We have, however, more good news. We're in negotiations with a couple of neighbours, H and C, who are also new parents of little boy G, to start working the plot together. They have been wanting to get down to some serious growing and, like us, have nowt but a yard behind their house. We all went and took a look at the plot last Saturday and they've agreed in theory to take it on with us which is great as we stand a much better chance of doing something with the plot with regular help, rather than the now and then help we've had and very much appreciated from my parents and brother and D's mum.
We also have something we can harvest! Yes, even though we've done sweet nothing for sixteen months! Two of the unidentified bushes have turned out to be raspberry and gooseberry which is brilliant. The raspberry has started to get a little unruly so when we start to take control of the plot again, we'll get it under more strict supervision.
Anyway, the shed of doom's days are numbered. I've already started looking for a new fortress of solitude*!

Note to self - E was seven and a half months old at this point. This may have been around the time we got our first warning letter from the council, gulp!
