'And is there honey still for tea?'

The answer, Rupert, is very little in our house. While out walking we noticed a sign hanging from a gate in a nearby street saying that honey was for sale. I knocked on the door to buy a jar and had the pleasure of meeting the owners and being shown round their garden. The honey is golden and tastes delicious. I'm going to have to go back for some more!
The garden is crammed with growth and we are still clearing and cropping back. I'm trying to grow a few veg in pots while I wait and wait for an allotment to become available. My name is on the sixth page so it may never happen!

    I had my name down for an allotment for 25 years. I was sixth for nearly all that time. When I got to the top they offered me one about 3 miles away, or go back to the end again. I decided our garden was enough now.

    I think that will be the same pattern for me, Tasker. Having lived well out of a prolific fruit and veg garden for many years I'm finding the price of these things to buy in the shops is a bit of a shock.

    Nothing better than locally sourced honey, helps with all of those allergies and such.

      So they say. All I know is that it tastes wonderful!

    That honey looks like liquid gold!
    My sister was wishing for an allotment for many years, and finally two years ago, her next door neighbours offered her to share theirs. Now it is almost exclusively she who uses it, and it is just around the corner from her house.

      Oh, lucky sister! And we are also lucky to have found such pleasant honey- selling neighbours. They are keen gardeners and have now been round to our house to give me some advice about what is growing there.

      No way, I'm having enough trouble stopping Himself from guzzling the lot!

    Mmmmh, the honey looks delicious. On the sixth page?! My god, seems very popular to have an allotment. I have no luck with veg, never happend that I could harvest something. I guess my place is too shady. We have an apple tree, but even that one gave us no more than one or two apple that we could eat. I guess, I would starve when I had to live from my gardening. :)
    Have a great day.

      Dear Alex, your roses are so beautiful that you can be content to buy all your fruit and veg from a shop. (It also gives you more time for writing!) Allotments have indeed become very popular. I now have only a few tubs for fruit and vegetables. The days of gorging on soft fruit are over!
