A quiet joy

2nd August 2025 A quiet joy

A quiet joyA quiet joy – allotment visit and a bit of edging of the plot, some watering. And we have signs of life….. the plug plants have yet to die, spinach, pak choi and bush beans seem to be appearing.  Add some oregano into the mix.  Meet a few other allotment holders as I’m leaving.  Think the whole early thing works for me but isn’t the most social of options.

Home and a shop with C, nip for a coffee along the way and a beer on the way back.
