What a weekend!!

Well the royal wedding day celebrations went well.. my union Jack cake was the tastiest I have made yet 
:-D I think it has something to do with my new kitchen aid mixer.

Big brother and I managed to fix the new WIR roof and it does look fab, I will upload pics soon.

A day in the goodlife today learning beekeeping, sausage making, meat curing and cheese making with city cottage. It was a really great day and I really want bees now. I popped off to the shop on my way home to get some pork and have some bacon curing in the fridge ready for brekkie tomorrow.

Unfortunately the wild winds we have been having blew my mini greenhouse over the garden and hundreds of seedlings are ruined so I am going to have to start again!

Off to pick up the new 10 * 6 glass greenhouse tomorrow so busy busy busy!!

Time to Blog?

Well I have never had a blog before but I know a fair few people who do so I thought I would give it a try as I am an avid facebooker so fingers crossed I will keep this up to date.

I will hopefully keep you up to date with our goings on, things we have made and things we have grown.
Since getting our allotment I have enjoyed a bit of a greener life, making things and growing things so thought it was time to share.

As my first picture, here is our allotment when we first got it, and the ones to follow will be how it looks now, you can see how much it has progressed.
