I'm Off

Hello chums.

As one or two of you are aware, I've been planning to move. So, the house is sold and I've had an offer accepted on a place we like. Sounds ok doesn't it. Well, the big downside is that the garden is very small at around 30' x 30' A while ago we put in an offer on a house which would have been perfect for us. It needed a lot of work doing but would have been fab when 'done up' and it had a very good sized garden, but it got bought from under us as at the time we hadn't sold. Ah well...
As I can't imagine not growing veg, I thought I'd check out the availability of allotments in the area. I know that there's a site around five minutes walk away from the new house, but was quite surprised to find that (according to the council website) they have ONE plot available. Spooky eh? Because the owner (from whom we are buying) has to wait until next April to move in (they are having a bungalow built), it looks like we will be homeless for a few months, so will probably rent. I doubt that the 'chain' will want to wait until April, so....

This does of course mean that I will be 'off air' for some time I anticipate that the 'move' will take place in around eight weeks or so, but rest assured, at some stage I will be back! I will of course still be around in the meantime

Cheers...Freddy

 

Blimey, thats a turn up Freddy

Hope it all goes smoothly for you my friend

Are you going far? Is a camper van a temporary option?

Talk to Scrungee, he knows how to log on from anywhere, even the dark side of the moon

 

I'm sure too, but it seems a long way off...

Thanks, although I'm already 'stressed out'

Not far, maybe three miles away

Funny you should say that, we're considering using our 'tourer', but there's the problem of frozen water. We also have two dogs to consider, so...

 

Good luck with your plans Freddy, we'll miss having you around but next spring isn't that far off. Meanwhile you still have eight weeks to put up with us!

 

Whoa Freddy...hope all goes better than well that allotment patch sounds like it has your name on itget back as soon as you can....you've got to see my massive Kelsae seen as you started it....
Good luck to all the Freddies

 

A labour of love

 

Hope the move and getting an allotment go smoothly Freddie! Hope to see you back at soon point in the near future

 

Hiya Loli.

If I can secure it, all well and good. Only thing is I'm likely to be a bit busy over the next couple of months, so it might be next spring before I can make a proper start on it, but that's ok

 

Thanks Ellen

 

You'll do it Freddy....can't wait to see your progress

 

Thanks Marley

 

Hey there my friend Freddy ... if life is going up-ended I know a place here you can be in for six months for about €325 per month plus gas/electricity where there will be warmth and sunshine and cheap living ... ...very nice landlords as well ...

 

Maybe that house and all the renovation work that would have been required and the "forest" that went with it...wasn't meant to be Freddy.
That allotment plot sounds and it will only be a few months before your new chapter in life begins.
We'll all be here just the same - when ever you can drop in,
best of luck,
Jenny
