Still no allotment - and I'm getting very impatient. Every time I peel a potato, wash spinach or slice a tomato it reminds me that there has been no call from the council. I would really like to get moving this autumn to prepare the ground for Spring. To ease the pain, I have been to book shops to look for useful books on allotment gardening and created a lengthy birthday present list of items for the allotment. Nils has been contemplating compost heaps, sheds and hard landscaping (wooden edges to the beds) and here is a photo that we took on our allotment tour.
This compost heap took Nils' fancy, and I suspect that is what we aspire to - although this one looks like it took many years to get it to quite this state of perfection!

Keep onto the council, visit the sites and ask around sometimes you will have more success if you speak to the committee at the site, if they know that you are keen they may be more likely to allocate a plot, offer to take on 1/2 plot - anything to get your foot in the door !!
Some sites leases expire in September and some in April, put yourself about just in case your sites are September ones !
Good luck I hope you get a plot soon
