HI DVNewbie, I did a couple of courses with Jane a few years ago and really recommend them. Very reasonable price and great for beginners!

Hi DVNewbie - have you tried sending a query to Jane via her website? If there is enough demand then she might be up for putting on another course. But the main sowing season has gone and we're now into the growing season for this year. Maybe see if Jane's Veg School could put one on for people who just want to do some initial simple growing and get a plot ready for autumn planting (i.e. for plants that will come through in the winter or spring of 2014).


Of course, there are any number of books that could help get you started until the next class runs - in fact, Jane could probably suggest some. She doesn't teach anything magical or mysterious, it's all available in books - though of course you don't get the same practical, hands-on tuition from books.


Good luck

Thanks BigED. Yup, I have been reading books and having a go anyway. I'm just not working at the moment (and only have a few months before I need to again!) so I'm trying to maximise the opportunities to learn about stuff I've always wanted to while I have some spare time! Books etc. it is! (I have emailed Jane though and may well sign up for the Feb course anyway - especially as it's on a Saturday...)

    • Have you complained to the solicitor directly and did they respond within the 8 weeks they have under their code of conduct - I presume they have and this is why you have escalated further to the SRA? If he doesn't respond in a timely fashion per the SRA code of conduct then I am sure they will need to take action.
    • What a bunch of ignorant nimbies.  Their own tweet conspicuously ignores the actual content of their own article FFS. Immediately after the incorrect paragraph quoted about it being unlawful to burn coal wood etc they sit out the actual position:   "However, the use of authorised smokeless fuels in an open fireplace is allowed, as well as burning smoke-generating fuels in an approved stove or burner."   leaving that out is as thick as flying into the amazon rainforest on a private jet to attend Cop 31 thus week.
    • I had to pull this cat back from speeding traffic as she was almost clipped - TWICE -  by passing motorbikes on Underhill Rd. Needless to say, I was seething that anyone would let this cat out onto the streets, specially a street that I struggle to cross myself. When I initially approached her, I thought she had already been injured. By some miracle, she wasn't, she was just paralyzed by fear. Do NOT let this cat out onto the streets.

    • Are there any other executors? Is the solicitor a soke practioner or part of a firm? Are you and your fellow beneficiaries behaving well?  You will want to take proper  legal advice (which this is not) but you can have an executor removed by the court if they are refusing to communicate with you. I would just do that. Tell him you are doing it, tell him you have reported him to the Law Society (if you have) and tell him you will be challenging his fees with the legal services ombudsman. This all sounds outrageous to me and this solicitor doesn't sound fit to practice. Three years sounds far too long for a low value estate comprising mostly of a house. He should have sold that or rented it out whilst he was waiting to administer the estate.    Sounds like he has cost you all a lot of money.
