Proper Work

At last. Snow has gone, pretty much, and I've managed the first visit to the allotment this year. Happy 2010, Allotment.

And in a packed morning I've:

  • paid my subs to the Hut (£2)
  • picked some leeks
  • pruned the Autumn Bliss raspberries (you see - Proper Work!), and
  • started to coppice the Hazel bush.

Crikey. And now the sun is beginning to shine and the days are noticeably beginning to, perhaps lighten is putting too strong, but get less dark so early is definitely happening. Sunshine; love it.

Ah but you're further north than me (must be at least 3 miles!)

Wot ? 2 Squid subs ? Is that for the whole year or one week ?

£2 for the whole year!! That's not the allotment rent (that's £42), it's just membership of the Archer Lane Allotment & Home Garden Society. Bargain of the year though, eh. They run a trading hut open on Sunday mornings and put on three produce/flower shows during the year.

Get the feeling someone is trying to say something ?

Hmm. Is it Klingon?
