Feel like we've got a proper lottie now that we have a shed. 
Picked it up last Sunday on freecycle. It's not the poshest affair but it was free and although it has a little bit of rot in one corner, we've repaired that and re-felting to stop the leak. Anyway, it's now got pride of place in the back corner of the plot and is already linked upto an IBC so as soon as it rains I'll have a water supply! All very exciting, will be going down tomorrow to put up some shelves and take some old plastic garden chairs so I don't have to sit on the floor when I'm having a brew.
Just the rest of the lottie to dig now! On the subject of which, the back third is going to be devoted to soft fruit, most of the other plots on the site have their bushes surrounded by rough grass. Is this a good idea in that it will suppress the weeds or is it more trouble than it's worth in that I'll have to cut it fairly often? At home I have bark, however this would be far too expensive at the plot due to the amount I would require.
