The Shed is Watertight!!!

It was such a lovely morning so I went down the allotment early just to double check how much wood I nneded to repair the shed as my manslave was no longer up for doing it.

When I got there, he had 2 huge sheets of thick wood.  Although it would look odd, it would seal the shed and was free.

He showed me how to saw properly, and I was quite good at it!

He cut the door out and is going to finish it off in the week for me.

We put the waterproof sheet on the roof until the next week when I felt the roof!

I have never done anything like this before, so I was really pleased with my efforts. 

It is not a pretty shed, but it is watertight and mine!!!

Here are the photos of todays efforts!

Finally I Got Some Time On The Allotment!

After 3 weekends of being away, this Sunday I finally got some time down there.

I was intending to spend a few hours there, but the sun was shining I managed to loose 5 hours!!!

I built a new structure for my thriving raspberries, photographed the worlds most bent marrows, my huge marrow measured against my size5 shoe and my rewards.

I have got some winter peas and onions to plant this weekend and lots of weeding to do!

The shed needs finishing and I may have to do this myself as my shed builder has been taken ill.  i need to sort it before the winter sets in.

I am Back Again!!

I have had a couple of weekends away, so this weekend will be my first trip down to the allotment for almost 3 weeks!

I am excited to see how the shed might be looking, I hope it has a roof!

I am dreading to see how much the weeds etc have grown!

I can't wait to see if I still have a giant marrow there and how big that might be!!! 

I hope to be posting some photos on Sunday as I hear that we may get some dry weather!
