How fantastic to wake up to such a beautiful day, especially as we have had nothing but wind and rain.
This morning I had a hop skip and a jump spring in my step , knowing today I can actually go down to my allotment and get some jobs done. I was so in need of sorting my shed out as the owners before me had left it in a pretty rubbish state.
So today was, sort out shed day and nothing was getting in my way of doing that.
So much rubbish to take down to the tip.
After a few tip runs later … in total delight, I could actually see that it was a shed and not a bomb site.
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
He washed my sins away (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
Ok maybe a little OTT with the gospel bust out, but it was exactly how I felt inside knowing that I now have a potter place. Yes I’m at that age when pottering is now in my vocabulary and I bloody love and embrace it.
One thing I am going to have to get used to is the huge amount of insects down on the allotment life, and insects I didn’t even know existed. Some with so many legs it doesn’t seem possible, and gee wizz they can move like a rocket, with no warning of what direction they are heading. And let me just tell you this advice for free , that can also mean right up your leg ….. pretty sure my friend thought I was trying to bust some break dancing moves when in reality I was trying to get this million leg creature from not entering the bottom of my trousers.
Note to self … wear cycle clips next time or if that isn’t a option then a roll of sellotape tied tightly around the bottom of trousers should do the trick.
And if by magic I have a shed, not really magic ! More like sweat blood and break dance moves …
What a huge sense of achievement I feel seeing what a little hard work can do.
I’m still buzzing from the sunshine being out and my pottering kingdom almost complete, I pack up all my bits, take off my muddy caked boots, jump in the car and head home to sow some indoor seeds.
I decided to make some little indoor green houses out of my MANY jars of coffee I have ( don’t judge ) for my pepper seeds to keep them all nice, warm and snug as a bug.
Well it’s time for me to hit the sack , well needed after such a busy day …
Tomorrow it’s clear the greenhouse day … wish me luck
Much love as always leanne – allotmentvirgin101
