After ten years looking after elderly parents and many false starts, we now have the time to start a UA-cam channel.Our passion in life is very varied, we spend our time at the allotment in the summer and love to live thrifty (on a budget) so we can afford to travel to south east Asia in the winter, if you enjoy allotment life, travel, music and cooking content you may like this channel, we're both excited for this new chapter in our lives :)
Small job has turned into a nightmare 😬 always jobs to do on an allotment ⚒️
Planned on putting new benches in then realised the floor needed replacing, it’s lasted 8 years so can’t grumble as it was technically put in as makeshift till we got around to it…well we’ve had to get around to it now 😬 #allotment #gardening #garden #allotmentlife #greenhouse #growyourownfood

When you see a skip full of bricks and have an allotment you start thinking of the next job on the plot 😃👍 this week we replaced the path outside the greenhouse which was a wooden death trap and cleared out the strawberry bed. We lost a days graft footage as accidentally deleted it but we pruned the plum tree and done the general strumming and weeding ☺️ #gardening, #allotmentgardeninguk,#allot...
More work at the Allotment and trying out the new mics ☺️👍

out with the old, in with the new...our new allotment greenhouse ☺️👍
worth lookin at mudcrete for your greenhouse base instead of concrete, depending on your soil or subsoil type. could save you a lot of money if your soil is suitable. Love watching your antics. I'm hoping your channel gets enough views to bring you in a few pennies to help you out
This is a job we didn’t anticipate but that’s what it’s like with an allotment and also life, but we’ll plod on and still enjoy getting it done….extra money is a blessing but we work with what we have and that gives us a buzz too 🥰🙏
It's a definite buzz when you are out in the fresh air 😊😊
Good for the soul ☺️🙏
You are right, a garden or a allotment ceeps us going. There is always something to do. Repair stuff or build new, caring plants and cut the shrubs and trees.🍺
We’re going to see how much we can get done before our holiday and finish off when we return ☺️👍
Hi Laura ☺️🙏
Can just smell those jacket potatoes 😊 Good job done what a difference 👏
They tasted better outdoors 😋👍
Never see allotment witj fences or gates
They generally all have fences and gates around here…some sites have livestock chickens, ducks etc so need fences
What a beautiful pub, such a cosy place for a beer near the fire. Your plan for the greenhouse sounds good with all the paletwood. 🍺
I hope Davey gets it finished in time for me sowing seeds 😉🙏
The table looks great, like always if you make a thing.🍺
☺️👍
Why you drinking beer, and the grafter drinking tea?.
We were both drinking beer 😉 I prefer a glass for lager but I’ve only got mugs over there 😂
Excellent video 👍☺️🍁🍂🍄 The pub looked a lovely place, really cosy 🔥🍺 Your little kitties are very cute 😸🤗 The weather this year has been dreadful! ☔🌧️☔🌧️
Thanks violet, the weathers getting worse now and we’re counting down for our holiday to warm our bones up…but we’re still getting as many jobs done at the plot before we go 🥰👍
What a treat, jacket spuds.😊
It was lovely having them just like we did as kids ☺️👍
40 years ago I would go down the local and often make new friends. Sadly I now only go to the pub to meet up with old friends and do most of my imbibing at home. Somehow it needs to be much more affordable to get down to the local, either by reducing taxes on pub served beer or increasing the price of supermarket alcohol. I remember taking a jug down to the pub window for my dad, cos that used to be the cheapest way to get beer. 🍺
The cost of going out now is not affordable these days and eating out is once in a blue moon treat but to be honest we rarely eat out now and if we do we generally just have a snack between us, I’d rather have a sandwich and a couple of drinks at the plot but the weather is turning now 🥶 the government really need to do something about saving the British pubs ☺️🙏
You can’t beat pallet projects ,very satisfying when it’s free 👍
It’s more satisfying when it’s free 😉👍
Good job on the table 👻🇬🇧
Thank you ☺️
glad its not just me that doesn't like peopling🤣
We ended up not going out…too tired lol ☺️
Love watching you two.
Thank you ☺️
Superbe travail bravo À bientôt
Thank you ☺️👍

Nice fire, just the thing when the day is cold♦
Even better having jacket potatoes in it ☺️👍
Potting table looks great, waste not want not 👍👍
We’ve been on a pallet hunt today and got even more..can’t have too many pallets on an allotment ☺️👍
Great job with the potting table 👍😊 The corned beef hot pot on your short video looked delicious 😋 Brown sauce is the way to go 👍☺️💐🦔🍂🍁🍄
Always brown sauce 😉👍
My next winter task that but I would like to incorporate a sink into it for a washing station as always happy gardening Richardx
I’d love a sink too, may add that to the list for next year after Daveys had a break…I’ve got him worn out after the clean up this year 😬 Debbie xx
Excellent video 👍☺️💐 All your hard work is definitely paying off 👍🍁🍂🍄 The little hedgehog was very sweet ☺️💐🦔
Thanks Violet 🥰 I love rescuing but even more I love releasing them back into the wild ☺️👍xx
Enjoying your channel as I recently lost my mum and I cared for her aggressive stage four liver cancer 😢 until she passed and she was originally from Newcastle as was my funny three aunts and grandad it gives me comfort to hear a accent that reminds me of them all and my dad is in care home with dementia that I visit often So my Allotment is my happy place and the escape from losing a parent and gradually loosing my dad but I don’t have a lot of free time I tried utube channel but not techie and realise alot of work and time goes into doing videos so Thankyou I enjoy your channel a lot
I know exactly what you’re going through as my allotment has been my saviour over the years, it’s a place where I’d forget dementia, appointments, shopping, up all night worrying and watching them deteriorate in front of me over the years, in fact I don’t know what I’d of done without it. After my dad passed in February who had Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s we were at a loss but the allotment has been a help and doing UA-cam has given us focus. I can’t edit or do tec stuff as Davey does all that but I will learn one day 😬 do keep the thought of UA-cam an option in the future because it will fill in the space and give you focus, maybe try shorts as they’re just 1 minute and i think UA-cam is a learning process as we’re learning too ☺️👍 Debbie ❤️
Great watch, lovely to see little Allotment Jack being released.
Best part of rescuing is the releasing 🥰
😁
Hi Richard we’re getting there ☺️👍 hope you’re well ❤️
i could clean and spin that wool lol / i use the bad parts of the fleece to compost around my plants
If I had the skills to spin the wool I’d give it a go…maybe give it a go one day ☺️👍 I’ve never used it before but I can’t wait to see if it does keep the slugs off next season 😃
Allotment Jack is thanfull for your kind help even if he dont knows who did him so much good.❤ the find of the nenure is a great thing because it was all for free. The allotment becomes better and better. It is beautifull now and will look perfect in spring with the flowers.🍺
It was a lucky find after getting stuck in the other place but this other yard was a lovely couple who gave me the sheep’s wool and said take as much as you like and if you need anymore sheep’s wool I can go get some ☺️👍 releasing allotment jack is the best part of rescuing a desperate animal ☺️🙏
Glad I found your channel, must live close as I visit J beveridges often for my plants I saw you visited there in another video
We come from Stanley to Beveridges as it’s a great place and the staff are very helpful and friendly…I hope you enjoy our channel ☺️🙏 Debbie x
@@DaveyDebGeordieland7053 Oh lovely! I'm from Chopwell so not too far away. Love beveridges the staff are so helpful and offered me a lot of advice
Just come across you two. I like what I see and subscribe and like and look forward to viewing your journey.
Welcome aboard on our journey ☺️👍 Debbie x
I just found your channel and I'm loving it. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Watching from the US.
Thank you for watching and welcome aboard ☺️👍 Debbie x
🐝thanks for the great video🌻
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Brilliant bit of timber work there mate. Are you use all hand tools or battery powered kit? I like to use hand tools down the yard to show the kids it's not all about easy work haha but I do have a generator with 110 tools
Davey uses both hand and powered tools as he’s getting on a bit 😬
you can't beat a good burn up
😃👍
🐝thanks for the great video🌻
☺️🙏
hi guys fun time you deserve it after all the work you've done great video cheers
Thank you ☺️🙏
Lovely fire. Those jacketed potatoes take me back to my childhood as well. Cleaning up all the old debris around my Grandma's and burning it. Getting in new wood for her wood pile. Stacking wood. Plucking chickens, frying cracklin, picking up pecans, and shelling butterbeans and field peas.
I’m pleased it brought back memories for you ❤️ making the video took us back to being kids again ☺️🙏
As a nurse of many many years, looking after loved ones with Dementia takes a very special kind of person ❤. You both are very special people. Xxx
Thanks for your kind words…anyone who’s worked or lived with someone with dementia will know the heartache…watching someone deteriorate is the hardest thing I’ve went through and it was something you watch yet can’t do anything about it. I miss them but I’m also pleased they’re not suffering anymore xx
