The plot thickens .....

This weekend just gone was exceptionally busy by

my standards because not only was it the allotment open

day but it also marked the start of my tenancy of

a second piece of land - Plot 19.

Numerologically I'm very happy with that because when

you add the number 6 of my original plot to the number 19

and then reduce the figures down this comes out at 7.

And 7 is my birth number and the magic number too

so how can I possibly fail to grow even more wonderful 

things over the coming years and seasons?

Mine, all mine!

Plot 19 is pretty big (5m x 20m) and it's a bit of a walk on

the wild side but I'm sure I shall soon have it licked into

shape provided that I don't go at it like a bull in a china

shop and knacker myself in the process.

What do you fancy a slice of?

The open day was wonderful, the sun was out, the crowds

were out too and, more importantly, so were their purses

and we raised a record amount through the sale of produce,

jams, home-made cakes and the inevitable cups of rosie.

Getting ready for the locusts to arrive.

A very "British" affair
