I have been a lurker on this site for well over a year now and have finally decided to introduce myself. In the past few years I have been growing as much as possible in pots in my back garden (completely paved). However! Today I have been to the local council offices to sign the paperwork and collect my key for an allotment. I am soo excited and can't wait to get down there and get stuck in. It is a five min drive away but even better a 20 min walk so I can get there (on the days I am not working) with my 1yr old.
I am currently also considering ripping out the paving in my back garden and having 2 or 3 chickens.

Hope to be chatting with you all very soon!
