Hi Raehippychick,

What part of Essex are you in? I used to live there before moving up Norferk way.

I'm near Colchester... having moved down from the way of the Norferk!

Maybe we passed on our way? :lol:

By the way Tom... just out of sheer nosiness... which part of Norwich have you moved to?

When I was there I lived almost in the centre, less than a five minute walk from Bonds (John Lewis), nowadays I live in a small town on the coast and having grown up in a tiny town then a small (really small) village in the middle of Norfolk it is nice to go back to my simpler roots... not that I didn't enjoy the years I spent in Norwich of course :wink:

I first moved into a pokey flat on Carrow Hill for a couple of years and now live in Mile Cross (I know :? ). Touch wood I'm moving into a cottage in Alby near Erpingham very soon once the magical moving date appears out of the Ether, smaller than where I am now but with a 200ft garden and a much bigger kitchen :)

Welcome and good luck with your allotment!
They're not weeds - that's a habitat for wildlife, don't you know?
