Received a phone call this afternoon from the council allotment officer, offering me the tenancy of a allotment across the road from us. No mares tail on these allotments.

the plot is not as big has those I have at the moment.
Had a look at it this afternoon with the Allotment Secretary. I have accepted the tenancy, will have to nip down to my other allotments, in the morning and pick up my sprayer and weed killer. should not take long to bring it up to scratch.
