        Tell the guy, Kaz, that if he doesn't behave himself all the sane members of GC will be around to have a "word" with him, followed closely by the members of the Mad Axemen Club.:heehee::heehee::D

          I'm with *Dim* on this. Never trust a man baring 5kg plastic pots with lids.

          Hi Kaz, I am not too worried about the genuine intention regarding the allotment and I think that it could work out like an excellent agreement.

          But I imagine that this could lead to complications of emotional nature.
          The situation is so well designed easy and convenient that it would be almost inevitable, unless you are both firmly committed into a family situation, to have some little accident of trasgressive nature...

          So I would say that it very much depend how well you can handle the situation - good luck!

            I take this comment on board and obviously i cant speak for him, but though i may whinge about OH snoring and the like i love him dearly and would not stray, both OH and i have been the hurt by former spouces being unfaithful, from my point of view it is purely innocent, and i will often be taking my grandchildren and OH to the site,:dbgrtmb:

            i dont envision that we will be there always at the same time, we both work shifts, his are on a monthly pattern, God alone know my rota because it changes every other day :what:
            whilst i am willing to teach him i dont plan on holding his hand every time he has to do something, if it is new thats different but lets face it my 3 yr old grandchildren dont need to be shown/ told most thing more than twice :heehee:

            im after his plot and nothing else :loll::loll:
            and all he will get from me is gardening advice :yess: and hopefully some veggies :D :D

              I don't see anything wrong with it that a sensible attitude can't handle :dbgrtmb: - which is what you're showing. :D

                I'm wondering what those on the long waiting list will think of what may be considered 'sub-letting'. Those with their names near the top may have been eyeing up this very plot, hoping it might be given up. I've been a Parish Councillor and know what it can get like.

                There's also a rule in many allotment tenancies about only close relatives of the tenant are allowed on the allotment unsupervised, and everyone else can only be there if the tenant is also present.

                I suggest you check the rules - you will need to know them anyway if you're going to be gardening there.

                  Tell then you ARE his Mistress Kaz ... that will give the allotmenteers something to talk about for a bit !!

                  I presume a Mistress IS a close relation?!!

                    even today when i went up there ( piddling down with rain ) there were a lot of folk up there and it is literally 150 yrds from my house ! i also said that i would do it as a family thing as in they help out !! he was fine with this :dbgrtmb:

                    [/QUOTE]

                    Gee ... it's snowing and raining .... she wanted to meet there in this weather .... she must like me!

                    150 yards from her home .... how cool is that! .... She likes me!
                    --------------------------------------------

                    that Kaz ... is how some men think ....:D

                    :stirpot:[/QUOTE]


                    *DIM* that is exactly as i had pictured you, i think i should go with my gut instinct[/QUOTE]


                    Hey what do you expect from a mix of Greek and South African...:heehee:
                    luckily that is not the case with our man from the allotment...
                    PS how close is the allotment to his house?
                    I also think that it is a good idea to check the renting agreement/regulations of the allotment. Worse come to worse you will have to be working there at the same time.

                    the allotment is about the same distance to both our houses just from different angles

                    i have asked him for a copy of regs for up there,

                    on the plot next to him there are 4 guys that work it none are related, the guy that was there today was a tad miffed that i was about as "he would not be able to use the extra space this year" then he went on to tell me that he helps alot of the oldies in exchange for free space, while i was there i saw him help himself to different things from different plots.

                    took lots of pics today shall start on album, he has Bramble everywhere and Bindweed :gaagh: spent all day clearing treetreetreetree and and cutting brambles
                    brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr chilly now
