Just Call me Barbara!

Why?

Well because that seems to be my new nick name!

Can anyone remember the good life?

(don't fib I bet you can!)

Well as I have been trying to live as thrifty as I can my new addition has ensured that I can now do it covered in mud too!

Just hoe (how, get it?) Andy and I look!

I am the proud owner of an allotment!

This is after the hard work. It now has a path (more to follow) and a compost bin.

Not a full size but a half and I for one am well chuffed.

We went to tidy it up a little, taking down canes that had once had beans on and dug over half of the ground.

Our findings were fab!

We dug up a sack full of white potatoes, half a sack of red and a bag full of swedes!

We also have masses of strawberry plants so I have taken a few runners off and popped them in the greenhouse.

We planted our freebie onion and garlic that we had given to us last week too.

I am a very happy lady!

But just because I have spent time covered in mud, it doesn't mean I have lost any of my passion for fashion! (my fashion that is!)

So here is my outfit for today;

Trousers - Pull and bear, (purchased last year)
Vest top - Primark, (old)
Cardigan - Bay Trading (very old)

I love the crochet detail at the back of the cardigan.

To keep me warm out side I added my Tesco jacket and my Primark scarf.

To finish the outfit a pair of pixie boots.
My eldest brought me these when she first started working years ago from Dorothy Perkins.

I really like the detailing on them.

And no, I didn't wear this to the allotment!
