Whilst we were in Rome celebrating my 60th Birthday, our new Shed on the allotment was being broken into. Fortunately it has been so well made by Michael that they could not achieve what they set out to do. I reported it to the local Rural Police, but you only ever get an answerphone and low and behold, they do nothing about it. They don't even call you back or visit you when they are supposedly patrolling the village. What a waste of time paying your rates for Police protection when you have none.
On a lighter note, we heard that the plot behind ours that is on the level has become available because Sarah had to give it up. We asked the Town Council if we could move because it will be easier for me to move about without falling over. I am glad to say that at the last Town Council Allotments Meeting, it was agreed that we can move plot and we have until renewal to get it prepared and move all our chattells across. Hopefully the shed will not be so visible from the road or the car park and it will be safer.
We are going to have to work fast, as it is time to put in our Aquadulce Claudia broadbeans now, so we have to dig, dig, dig our new plot to get some space for them. I may even start them off in ice cream containers until we have some ground suitable for them, or perhaps we will not grow them this year!!
The top picture is of the new plot at the far end, looking towards our current plot. The bottom picture is at the opposite end. As you can see, lots of work to do here. I have now straightened out all the black plastic so that the couch does not start growing again before we have time to dig it all out.
We will have to call our blog, Allotment No 25 in the future.
Well, thats my ramblings, thanks for looking.
