Good Stuff is Happening Despite the Storms ~ Sophie

I'm linking this post to Ginny's Yarn Along today.


We've been having a pretty awful half-term here weather-wise.  But, as the title suggests, good stuff has been happening too.  I got offered an allotment!  Today, we ventured out into the wind and rain to the library where I picked up the books above.  I also have this book...


...which was a birthday present. I will be pouring over all these and making some plans over the next couple of days.  I don't particularly want the allotment to be really low-maintenance but I know there will be times when I have less opportunity to get over there so I thought it may be worth seeing what was suggested here.

My crocheted coasters have been on the go a while.  Thanks to my lovely mum, we've been having a few kitchen alterations - the other good stuff - so I've been making these for when it's finished.  Which hopefully will not be too long now.

  2. How exciting to have an allotment. I love allotments. There is one near us that has an open day, which I keep meaning to go to. May all your plants flourish.

    1. Thanks Cheryl :) Open days sound like a great idea but hopefully ours won't have one for a while!

  3. Congratulations! I remember how excited I was when I got that letter offering me a plot. How is it? Has it been looked after or have you got a lot of work to do?

    1. It is very exciting and a little daunting! The allotments are only a year old but it has already been left to turn into a weedy wilderness! I think from looking at it, only half has been dug as it seems to be split between a grass area and a weedy area. They are smaller than average plots though which isn't a bad thing, it looks plenty enough to be going on with!
