Hello from Manchester

[urbandruid]

Hello and greetings to one 'n all.

I'm Steve, hailing from Manchester.  Thought I'd formally introduce myself after lurking on and off for a while.  Jean and I have had a plot in Guide Bridge for three years, although I was busy most of last year and didn't manage to get too much done.

Still, all motivated for a good year in 2007 and looking forward to a good yield of basics!

Here are some pictures from last weekend when I spent most of my time clearing up leaves and building a manure pile.  I'll also be keeping a 'blog at http://thecrowroad.net/allotment_2007 for anyone who's interested in watching our progress.

That's all for now, I look forward to chatting with you all in the future.

Dreadful here in Derby... and the weather isn't too good either. Lancastrian in exile from Sunny(?) Rossendale... Hills with attitude... or should that be altitude?

Hi Honeybee! Yes, it looks like you're nearest so far.  I live in Ashton so I'm just down the road from you.  Do you have one of those plots on Mottram Rd then? :)

Hi Steve and welcome.

Yes Vee, It's in Guide Bridge so that's 3 of us in Tameside. :)
