At the start of this project, it seemed like everything would be pretty straight forward. The community loved the idea. Hackney Council had offered to give us any support we needed, and even pay for the seeds too. It was all going swimmingly. Which, in hindsight, should have made me a bit suspicious!
Because just when we were about to buy the seeds, we got word from the Council that there's an internal funding freeze, so no money can be spent on anything new. Which has meant we suddenly have no funding, and only a few weeks to get it before spring starts.
But we're not giving up. No way. Though we might make ourselves a cup of tea and feel sorry for ourselves for an hour or two!
