Hoze That!

A walk to the local shops, took me past a neighbours house, which has a sad looking unreeled hose in the front garden. Now allotmenteering tends to feature a lot of making the best of what you have and re-using stuff thrown out in skips etc... but, I've not really got into the full swing of that yet! But, knocked on the door later in the day and was told it was being thrown out - even if it was just a length of hose I could probably make use of it at the allotment so I whisked it away.
At home found it needed a new part to link it to the tap, so went to local Homebase , bought the part and now have a perfectly usable hose to use at the allotment.

Hose reel has now been tried and tested at the allotment, and it is a lot easier than a watering can. The reel system works fine too, so is a real good (and cheap) find! Next I'll pluck up the courage to check out skips, there are generally quite a few around with odd bits of lumber, but have never got anything out of them!!

Shed arrives tomorrow, that should probably be the shed is due to arrive tomorrow - we'll wait and see! I'm working from home, so if the lorry arrives I'll be here.

So it looks like it will be a busy weekend, but looking forward to not carting everything back and forwards in the car - including the new hose.

I know that others have found a lot of success with "freecycle" I subscribed for a while, and some amazing things come up on the site, but not checked on it recently.
