Allotment - Part 3....I still don't believe it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

It beggars belief how stubborn people can be. How desperate to actually take the bricks and replace with bits of wood ! Stay positive.

I will.....thanks Megan :o)

Im sorry 4 your Polly Tunnel ect Loss Amblea but its yours now so go Girl :)XXXX

Thanks Jacque.....

Sounds like a very spiteful person - keep your distance from her, won't you. I don't trust people like her!!

Hopefully thats it now? You can get on with making it yours.

I know what you mean Spritz.....Brian is worried in case she comes back....fortunately she lives in the next village and so its unlikely our paths will cross.........
Yes Denise, I can get on with it now.....depending on the weather of course !!

I dont think she will come back because she has removed everything so has no reason to! Try to put it out of your mind and enjoy it.

Yes put it behind you and I 'm sure you are going to be very happy in your new allotment now you've got rid of that old meanie( I'm being polite now) LOL

Never mind Alice, least you don`t have to say thankyou.... Put it all behind you and start again and now enjoy it........

remember she is more to be pitied than scolded. I bet if she moves house she'd take the light bulbs. some people are just plain stingey.

enjoy the tasks ahead. love to see photos as and when.

Put this unpleasantness behind you and look forward, because from now on Alice, it's all yours. You're going to have some hard work ahead, but also a lot of fun and enjoyment and best of all - the tastiest, freshest fruit and veg. Go for it girl ! ;-))

Sorry that you have had to deal with this kind of attitude. Unfortunately there are some bitter people around. The best way now is forward. You have a blank slate to start off with and I wish you all the best with it :~)))

What an immature person she is.
Give her everything she wants ..... then give her 'the boot' !

Good that you now have your allotment under lock and key...!
Let's hope you can enjoy a good growing season .... you deserve it after all this hassle !

I'm looking forward to any pics you can provide, please, of the membrane, for GoYpedia "Weed-suppressing Membranes". Thanks. :o)

sounds a right cow lol, sorry but cant be doing with people like that,hope all goes well from now on alice.. your plot and all secure now ;o))

Lol Sandra .... I thought it, but didn't dare say it for fear of being called sexist ! But I will go on record as agreeing with your sentiments. Nice one !!! :-)

LOL Sandra and MW i thought the same, so thats three of us that says the same..

sorry this person,( I won't say lady)has such a spiteful,childish nature.You can have a fresh start now,lou,and get on with your plans.Everything will get better
from now on,I'm sure.If not ,we will form a GoY gang,and come up and deal with her..mafia style !...HaHa,can you just picture it ? who could be the leader ?

Thanks Gang.....you do make me laugh........Don't think we'll need to resort to that Sandra....but its nice to know we can get an "army" ready at short notice.....lol

Downloading your pic TT very soon!

lol alice

Lol....The Three Muskateers !!! :-))

hahah muddy ;o)

sorry to hear of this amble ,there is not much i can add as everyone has said it all , tut tut nasty person,yes you will have to get the three amigos here to sort her out if she comes back..lol:o)

lol joanella , think it will be more like the 3 stooges lol

he he san..

I could hardly believe what I was reading !!! I just hope this really is the end of your problems with this allotment and that you can get on with enjoying your summer there.

This may sound awful, if it was me I would be glad she took what she did, even the bricks, as then there is no bad pressence left of hers or what she has touched. I understand her anger because she has lost, but it should not of been taken out on you but the commitee as it was their decision, not yours, you are an inocent party. Better you know how she really feels then if any of your stuff in the future gets vandalised, you at least know who the culprit is to follow, to catch, which I would not put passed her.

Please count me in the 'gang' too - I could bring some choice nasty comments with me - not violence, just words to tell her what I think of her!

That is what I have been thinking Sixpense!!....I'll be keeping all my eyes and ears open!!
Spritz...You'r in "The Gang"....wonder what those "choice nasty comments " would be.....from such a nice young lady as you......lol......:-o))

a long time ago,I used to buy books for my daughter,called The Garden Gang,
around the time that Mr Men came out ..(ah,nostalgia ) Does anyone else remember them?...If we have to resort to a name ,this would fit the bill perfectly.
I think I might be Sally Strawberry, as its the only one I can remember
offhand...think we still have some in the loft,but no way will I.be going up there to look !...:

Aw...go on Sandra.....then you could read us bedtime stories.....lol

The Garden Gang :
Alice Apple Avril Apricot Colin Cucumber Gertrude Gooseberry Lucy Leek Oliver Onion Oscar Orange Pam Parsnip Patrick Pear Pedro Pepper Penelope Strawberry Percival Pea Peter Potato Robert Raspberry Sheila Shallot Simon Swede Wee Willie Water Melon

Possibly more . . . .

Megan..Oh thanks for that..NOW I remember...see? I even got the strawberry name wrong...I like penelope better..:o))

lol....Sandra....

Hi, as an allotment keeper myself I know all the hard work and money that i have put into my allotment, it sounds as if you should sit down with the allotment association and bash this out between you and the "old" keeper.
I have some expensive tools in my shed (that i brought myself at great expence) and i know that i would be horrified if someone was to take all my tools.
You are lucky if the allotment association gives you have a shed, when i took over my allotment i had to clear all the old carpets etc.. from the plot myself and 3 years later the soil is still not as good as it should be, along with that i have had to get a shed, sort out the boundrys and try to grow things!! Hopefully this year will be better :-)

Hi Katkins.....thanks for your comments:

The rules of our Association state that when you give up, or in this case are evicted, you have to remove your belongings within a certain timescale. This person took everything she could, including bricks edging the paths, and its doubtful half the stuff belonged to her anyway. Folk rarely take away sheds on this site..too much bother to dismantle and hire a vehicle to take away.
Any disagreements are between the Association and the previous tenant. This is all behind me now and I am concentrating on getting the garden ship shape ready for the growing season.
Hope you have a good season on your allotment Katkins :-)

Glad to hear you are looking forward Louise,and putting all the unpleasant past behind you...so much lovely planning ahead.It will be wonderful.You just need some
good gardening weather now..Look forward to seeing and hearing about your progress...Have you got snow again up there,like us?The winter seems to be going on.and..on.Take care,sandra.x
