0:36
bonus episode especially For You
0:40
listeners you can't get enough of me
0:43
hey but yes we are back for second
0:46

0:49
because I have just hit a massive
0:52
Milestone with my Instagram I've managed
0:55
to get 10,000 followers and wow it you
1:01

and subscribes to all my Platforms in
1:15
what I
1:15
do
1:18
and it's just amazing to see how far
1:21
it's come because I've been doing the
1:23
Instagram for a number of years now and
1:26
also my Facebook page which has got
1:29
eight 18,000 followers and you I just
1:33
didn't realize how many people would
1:36
want to follow what I do at the
1:39
allotment and the garden
1:41
because it only just started off with me
1:45
creating
1:47
a page on Facebook where I was just
1:51
keeping a diary of all the things that I
1:54
did on the allotment when I planted them
1:56
how I planted them and what I did to be
2:00
honest it was just a diary so that I
2:01
could look back the year after to see
2:04
how it went and if it worked and stuff
2:07
like that and where I'll be planting
2:09
them the year after and it was just a
2:12
diary to be honest and I've never
2:14
realized in the world that people would
2:17
want to follow the things that I do on
2:21
Facebook and Instagram
2:23
and PE I just kept getting more and more
2:27
followers and ever since that start Ed I
2:30

4:27
place that I can unwind I can let my
