Hullo. I’m Mildew, sometimes known as Cornybeard, to a few Charlotte. I live in north London and have fun with compost and shoving random plants in pots. I used to have an allotment, but gave it up so I could go away on weekends and not feel guilty about neglecting it (I also let it get over-run with weeds, but the less said about that the better…)
These days I’m married, looking for a house and wanting a cat. I’m trying to cook more, craft little things and take more photos if I don’t get too lazy.
Hopefully this little website will be a nice, regular record of what I do and see.
And me. You amuse me, too.
Thank you! That’s really cool. I’ve just discovered where your comments dissapeared to. They were caught as spam! It’s disgraceful I tell ye.
Hello! As promised in my comment when you you left 20six I do stop by now and again to see how you’re getting on. Happy Easter!
Hi Flightbuff! Good to see you again! Nice to see you check in from time to time. I hope you have a good easter and eat lots of chocolate.

Hi
Nice Blog. I know what you mean about struggling to keep on top of it all at this time of year.
Was wondering if we could swap site links – I have started up a little blog of my own recently and want to get some (select) links going.
Nice blog… I’m on the waiting list for Alexandra Palace allotment site, only 6 years left to wait… for now i’m having to make do with whatever space I can make in our garden without turning it into some parody of the Good Life!
I count myself lucky that there is a waiting list – many Harringey allotments have closed their lists, and Islington which i’m close to only allocate plots to Islington residents – bah.
Hullo, very nice to hear from you! links are swapped. Mentalfloss, are you by any chance a Crouch Ender? I was on the Ally Pally waiting list myself when I lived in Hornsey, that was about two years ago and there was a five to six year wait for me, so not a lot has changed! It’s strange because there are reports that Harringey have the most vacancies in London. I’m guessing they’re all over in Tottenham way. If you have a car, it might be worth seeing if Enfield council have any spare plots. I know my site has (I think) and I’m about a 10 minutes drive from Ally Pally (if that). There are a few sites around the Wood Green/Palmers Green border that may have spare plots. Let me know if you want some more information.
hello
do you know any retired people who do gardening? i live in palmers green and am looking for someone. pls email me on kets999@hotmail.com
many thanks
