Post Holiday Plot


Set off with some trepidation to the plot yesterday. Having been away a week and been unable to get up to it before we went on holiday due to rain we were expecting the worst.

Well it was weedy ( of course) but nothing that a good mow and bonfire wouldn't begin to put right. We worked hard yesterday afternoon and you can hear a little audio conversation we had whilst up on the plot (called an Audio Boo) by pressing this link - Working at the Allotment

Underneath it all was plenty of food though. The above picture shows what we bought home. There are marrows and smaller courgettes, borlotti and french beans, baby turnips, sweet peas, roses and lavender. We also rescued an onion and a couple of wayward spuds which are also in the photo.

Truly inspiring.

We are in the misdst of a major downsizing/right sizing. No yummy veggies in the outlook yet. However, less stuff, cheaper heating and a walk/bike/bus/paddle to everything location will soon be our reward for all this sorting, packing and endless decision making.

It's going to be worth it!
