While I’m a firm believer in living life today, here and now, I think it can be a healthy excersise to stop for a minute and look back at what you have achieved.

It gives you chance to celebrate your victories, learn from your mistakes, and more importantly plan what steps you want to take in the future.

This morning I have spent a bit of time looking at this site - and reflect on where it has come from - while trying to think of where I would like to take it.

Let me just say that I’m proud to be the owner of this site! I put it online in february this year - and considering the effort I have put into the site - it has performed very well indeed. It has consistently more than doubled its number of visitors every month, to about 300 unique visitors this month, and this is without doing any marketing at all what so ever.

I’m not going to rest on the laurels though. As long as there are allotment plotholders out there, with internet access, who doesn’t know about the site, there’s a job to do

Also - I would like to interact more with you - my visitors. While the site is mostly build around what is happening on my own plot, and me sharing things I’ve learnt in my short career as an allotmenteer, there’s so much more happening on plots across the country.

My intention is to build an online community for allotment plotholders, and people with similar interest, which means I would like to hear from you and have you sharing your experiences and points of view with other users of the site. The site already offers this functionality - and if you would like to take part - why not register and post a comment to this post and/or another post where you feel I’m missing something? Also - I’m open to any ideas as to how you think I can improve the site - just leave a comment.
