Full circle

Aye, this time last year I was lamenting for freelance mondays down the allotment to get on with the planting - this year, I'm available!

Thanks to everyone for coming down yesterday to clear and tidy for our special visitors on Tuesday.  Managed to rebuild the fence with Jimmy, removing a section so that the greenhouse gets full light (and warmth)/ Sharon designed and build a fantastic cold frame/Armida sanded and taped the edges of ten boards/ Maggie spruced and tidied whilst Alayne and Colski kept the bairns waving and entertained.


One hour from each adds up to one person's full day so lots achieved - thanks! Plus I don't think I could drink a crate of Tennants by myself!

Had our annual fire of briars and spent wood with all the ash (potash-heavy) going right back into the spud bed. What goes around, comes around....




The eye is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary picture is repeated without end...
