Its been a while...

Hey everybody!!

It has been a while since my last update, over a month I see!! Well, it has also been that long since I last went up to myAllotment. I would like to say I was driven there by the desire to get stuck in, check on my mustard seeds and prepare for my shed. I can't. I was driven there by the need to tackle the, now MASSIVE, grass surrounding my plot!
I received a lovely letter from my local council informing me of the "unacceptable length of my grass" and the impending inspection that is to come this next Tuesday.

AFTER my neighbour came by with his strimmer!!
On the right you can see I started to turn over my mustard seed into the ground. As some of you may remember, mustard is a very good green manure, once it has grown to a certain height we are meant to 'dig it in' adding essential nutrients back into the soil;




 "Oh yes mustard! That'll do... MUSTARD?  Now don't let's be silly...." 

And now for a freeze frame halfway through the digging. For blog purposes only you realise, not because I have taken up smoking again and needed to catch my breath!;



So, plot looking acceptable, mustard turned into the ground I am done for today! 
I shall be updating more regularly for a while as some of my ,thought about, projects are starting to happen.....watch this space!!
