Well, I now have somewhere to live for the next six months, whilst we look for somewhere to buy. Woohoo. It has a little garden, and whilst I'm not sure that the landlord will let me dig up her rather nice lawn to turn into a carrot patch, I've spoken to her and know she's not averse to me planting a few herbs. I may even try and grow some spuds in bin bags on the patio.
