Weekend workout

Dan has done some more work on the outside of the shed and has now started on the inside. We have added a nice door handle and lock, and some flooring that was kindly given to us by our brother in law.

The inside has been partly cladded and is feeling really warm now. Dan is going to make a potting table underneath the window and put some hooks and shelves up. This is an ongoing project.

When we were at the allotment today, Dan's windows that he put in really frame a nice view over the hills and allowed us to see who was walking past.

We have had a busy weekend, with both sets of grandparents visiting. The boys have had a lovely time showing them the allotment. Jack had some lovely boots bought for him by his one nanny and a little bucket from his other nanny so is all set and ready now. He picked lots of blackberries for them all to take home.  He was very keen to show them what will soon become his patch. Harry also enjoyed playing with his bucket and watering can.

We were a little sad to hear that one of our allotment neighbours has had all her sweetcorn taken off her plants.

My Dad brought us down some bits and pieces for the allotment. This watering can has been in our family for over 42 years now. He bought Dan a stainless steel fork. Hopefully Dan won't be able to bend this one. He also bought him a lovely spade which is supposed to make digging a little easier. We will soon see!

I started to dig over a patch which Dan had previously dug and rotavated. Dad showed us how its done and did another few rows for us.

The allotment is really coming on now and we are pleased with our progress. When we look back on what it first looked like it gives us a real sense of achievement. We hope to keep digging over the plot now and clear all the ground to get ready for planting.
