Fox

I was picking blackcurrants down the allotment went we spotted this fox cub. It was quite tame and came real close as it went about its business of moving plant pots from our allotment to our neighbors.

We're building a Shanty Town

No. Jim wants a greenhouse. So were building one pikey style.

The sheer excitment

its potato chitting time!

and i've started some seeds off too, labeling this time so we actually know what we're growing. Useful that is

not much happening

As you can see pretty much cock all happening down the allotment. Some nice dead/dying chard plants and thats it.

The old dude who has the allotment doesn't like things messing with his lettuce. His entire lettuce bed was rigged up with mouse traps.

building something out of nothing

Well not exactly nothing, but something that doesn't cost, pallets. We needed a shed for down the allotment but they cost shit loads and look flimsy, so we decided to make our own out of pallets. We began to start stockpiling pallets, and with no plans began to build.First lay a base of sand.

Sand was one of the few things we bought. We had to use sand as we'd burried shit loads of glass that we'd found under this spot. Next lay foundations, which is a couple of pallets, surprisinglyNext step start putting sides on. To do this we had to break loads of pallets down so we could use the long bits as the supports. remember we're making this up as we go along


At this point we decided to make one side higher than the other so water would drain off the roof.
Bought some feather edge for the outside so that it would be water prrof. spent about £40 on this. Next start putting supports for the roof on.

Done. We've got a door on but i dont have a picture of that.
