Don't get it really - if it had once been deemed usable, why has its status changed?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609378570741596783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811617474824731934.post-40432607460521746622013-01-11T08:41:26.953-08:002013-01-11T08:41:26.953-08:00Good idea to offer some of the plot to someone els...Good idea to offer some of the plot to someone else on the list to help bring it back into use.

I am sure I would want an allotment if I lived in England. There is not a concept quite like it here but, fortunately, I have enough acreage at home to keep me busy, as well as helping to take care of our Church garden. I must say I find it necessary to cut back with old age rapidly overtaking me. Look forward to following your gardening adventures in 2013.

On original application I was at home with small kids, I am now working and so have enlisted 5 other families to work the plot. I won't give it up without a fight.
