Friday 12th August 2016 – Loads more harvesting.
I just love this time of year when all that hard work is paying off. You go down the allotment with an empty box and come back with it completely full to the brim. This is what mischief I got … Continue reading

Thursday 18th July 2013 – Oh, a gentle wind is blowing, and no it’s not me!
