Now to the allotment part.
A few months ago our local newsletter came through the letterbox. On the front page was an article about growing your own fruit and vegetables, and the date of a meeting for anyone interested. I went along, dragging my youngest daughter with me. There were a few people interested in having an allotment, and a lot of people from various organisations giving advice and promising us grants once we got going, hurray!
Several meetings down the line the Wemyss Allotment Association was born, complete with steering group to get things running and yours truly as the unwilling Chair. I'd be much happier taking a back seat but we're a very small group so I guess I can cope.
We've identified a site - virtually outside my front door, yay - the land belongs to the council so we should get it. All we have to do now is wait until the next planning meeting in the autumn.
Hopefully by next summer I'll be digging my socks off
