Was back doing the allotment this morning.Weather was much more pleasant than last week.Did some more twitching and helped to dig three trenches to put potatoes in.
Then with the time a few of us attempted to centralise all the rubbish that is spread hither and thither around the allotment plot.
The number of plastic and glass bottles that had been dumped(not by us i hasten to add) had to be seen to be believed. All of them or nearly all of them recyclable.

Found out today the size of the allotment.Apparently allotments are measured in poles and the standard size is 10 poles.In modern measurements, this is equal to 250 square metres.
Our plot is 15 poles therefore 375 square metres.

Now i've got over my fear of getting there i'm actually enjoying it.It's mentally quite relaxing.
