Nothing quite so exciting up here, I got a pond liner, so I am in the garden digging a hole...…………..digging a hole so big and sort of round it was...……………………..

On our walk round the village yesterday we saw that the allotments were pretty busy (including our old one) but no little groups of chatting, tea drinking gardeners! Well, our garden is providing us with plenty of exercise at the moment and the house has never looked cleaner!

House clean! That is on the "to do" list and a really thorough tidy first Monika. I'm trying to get a few outdoor things done while the weather is OK.

It's blowing a very cold north wind today, winter coat back on to queue to get in to the little Tesco to buy potatoes. That was my little walk for the day, I've been pulling out all the cupboards in my craft/fabric stash/spare room today. It always looks a lot worse before it gets better.

Do we think there should be a time limit to tending
the plot?

No time limit, I hope but there is temperature control. (very cold here today).

On visit to plot there were two cars parked with cards from the police asking why are you here?, then outline of lock down conditions.

Write a card back and say 'because Michael Gove said we could'

I would write one back saying I'm here because I have an allotment. Why are you here?
