    Sounds good :) If I had the time and spinal health I'd have an allotment too, but I'm growing fruit & veg in the back garden instead, with DH doing the heavy digging.
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    I managed to get my council tax banding reduced from band e to band c and have just received a cheque for £3,465 (backdated to April 1993) Worth persevering!
