I like ypur space, wish I had adequate time to sort mine. I have spent the past 10 years attempting to acquire an allotment, very much wishfull thinking in a large city. Now hope to move to a rural area this year, maybe a caravan on a few acres of freehold. Tried the County Council Farm lease, oo much red tape 7 competion, over 40 applicants for every vacancy. It will become far worse as the political climate worsens.
Hi Christine - I love keeping up with you and your allotment although it does make me yearn for a garden or at least a space big enough for some tubs. The small balcony we have at the flat I've just moved in to is just too small to grow anything. There is a communal garden but I'm reliably informed that anything left out there will dissapear as soon as your back is turned but might give it a try, nothing ventured nothing gained. Lesley
Hi Christine - for pendant light shades, I use the paper globes you can still get some places. They pack flat and open up like a chinese lantern. The white ones let a lot of light through in all directions, and they are so plain and simple they go with everything. I still have these in our lounge and dining room, although all the others have been replaced with ones that site flat to the ceiling.
I have a good recipe for green tomato pickle (NOT chutney) if you are ever interested.
