Just a normal day and then the post arrives.. no rush to open it as it’s generally a bill.
But not this time .. it was a letter from the council offering me my allotment.
Eekkkkkkk as I run into my friend and tell him that I have 5 rods of allotment.
I literally have no bloody idea what 5 rods means but I’m still excited never the less, I hurried to ring and tell them I except their offer and arrange a date and time to view it .
Date and time booked … so i am ready to go.
As the date and time arrives i am excited like a little kid, i have thrown on my wellies , scarf and gloves … i am ready to survey over my land where i am going to provide my whole family with fresh goodness to fuel us for the rest of our life ( slightly getting ahead of myself here ) …
So as i walk past all these beautiful allotments with their produce in such uniformed lines, vegetables with incredible color the excitment is bubbling up inside me ….
eeekkkkkk i am literally ready to burst now as the lady says to me this is your plot …..
ermmmm .. where are the vegetables all neatly lined up in a row !? Why does mine look like it could be hiding wild animals .. I am pretty sure that over the back i saw a wild lion make eye contact with me wondering why i am entering his territory.
If you hadn’t noticed slight panic had started to raise its ugly head within me then and my plans for sowing my seeds next week flew by me, as the sudden realization of the true hard work that faced me became real.
But, i have never been one to shy away from hard work.
I push the overwhelming urge to run away real fast ( probably more due to the fact i am in wellies ) have you ever run really fast in wellies !? I have ! its not a pretty sight, you hardly move anywhere but end up absolutely exhausted due to the fact you have to bring your knees up to your chin for any fast movement forward.
My advice … just avoid !
And as i mentioned earlier i am pretty sure there are wild animals in all that long grass, and as we all know , you never turn your back on one and run ( and so inappropriate footwear )
So i put my big girl pants on and except the offer and sign my free time away to the jungle …
Allotment Virgin ! 
Looking 4ward to seeing how u get on

Hiya. It looks like we’ve found each other at the start of our allotment journeys. It is exciting, isn’t it? And yes, it’s a lot of work – we’ve been rolling in mud, busting our backs and growing muscles since November – but also so rewarding. I wish you best of luck, you’ll do great. I’m sure we can support each other in times of need 😉
