Lovely day today, sun shining, blue skies:~)
We welcome a new member today:~) Today we went for a walk as it was such a good day and we were lacking in materials to work on allotment. We walked a bit of the "smugglers trail" which goes through Fullerton Woods, its a beautiful walk.

Week 8
Weather is rainy, very heavy. Nobody turned up execpt myself and my son Ethan, we must be mad:~), but on a positive note good for the potatoes that we planted last week.
When the rain went off for a wee while I took the opportunity to walk round the woods to admire the bluebells. As you can see from the photographs it looks amazing.

Week 7
Weather looks a bit over cast, but with wee sunny spells:~)
Have to brag today of the beautiful bluebells in the woods most of them out
:~)
Today, as it was a small group we decided to plant potatoes. Redskin, Fortyfold, and Shetland black, only heard of redskin so it will be good to see how the other varieties grow:~)
We also created a wild flower bed, raked the ground first and sprinkled seeds to attract bees and butterflies.
Good days work done today :~) Woo Hoo ( even though enthusiasm was lacking thin after tea by myself)

week 3
Weather a bit grey and cloudy:~/
Nevertheless out with the spades and forks and back to the slog of digging the 2 allotment plots, what a task.
Towards the end of the session flying overhead was 4 buzzards :~) what a great moment, all paused for that moment.
Lots of wildlife about, including the common woodpecker which we all can hear but never see. Fullerton woods is a great site for all sorts of activities:~)
