Back from Plot 27 having spent a lovely morning digging.

Nick took the day off work to help so we both rose early and headed off at 8am.

Nick's task as per yesterdays blog was to help load up with soil left from the car park and fill one of the raised beds. This was achieved. While he was doing this I dug out the area for the second raised bed. Chose the spot where I had inadvertently created the hole so now the plot is once more level. Yeah.

There were even more Allotmenteers present today and everyone was busily going about their allotment in their own unique way. One plot now has a completed shed with a veranda. Another was rotovating his plot with sheer determination and the effects were marvelous.

Meanwhile on Plot 27 we are just mooching along at our own pace which is very relaxed. Each day a target is set and provided that is met then I am happy.

Whilst working we had a lovely surprise our neighbour Alison together with her three girls, Hannah, Emily and Sasha came visiting. The children made themselves useful by creating a flower using stones from our plot a photo of which can be seen on the blog.

Just before we left we began digging out two lines for our red and blackcurrants which we plan to plant tomorrow.
