hard graft

Today was the first of a few days off work. I spent several hours down at our new allotment this morning, and had a great time.

I haven't felt comfortable with writing about it until now because technically it still isn't ours yet. We've now discussed terms with the Council representative, and have been offered a good deal because it's in a poor state. It's large (two double plots), so it will take a long time (years) to get it all into a reasonable condition, but we'd prefer that to a small plot in good condition.

So today I cut back brambles, cleared an area for our greenhouse, removed some old wood and brought in some flagstones rescued from another plot that's being completely cleared.

I like having a big project to work at. (Just as well!)
