The New House
Thanks to the families generosity, wedding funds and savings we’ve managed to buy a bungalow not far from our previous flat & allotment. We’ve now got a 65ft garden to play with and have gone from a one bed to a four bed! The house is a bit dated, the electrics are suspect, the windows are old and fairly unstable, the garden is like a pond (as well as having one), the car port is imminent risk of collapse and the boiler predates the dinosaurs.
But it’s ours 😀
I'm Tim, a 31yr old ex-Allotmenteer. My wife and I used to have a small 5 rod plot in South Essex where we grew all manner of veg. I'm also involved in brewing the odd keg of beer.
When getting down the allotment got too hard and our circumstances changed we bought a house with a 65ftx30ft garden, which we're converting into a mini orchard and veg beds.
We get up to some weird and wonderful projects - we've built a small boat, a pig roaster (powered by a windscreen wiper), a chicken run, raised beds and try our hands at all sorts of stuff getting us closer to being 'self sufficientish'.
The hope is to introduce chickens soon and hopefully let them free range during the day.
