    Not sure if any of you remember, but I got the keys to my new allotment (a half size plot...5 rods!) back in October.
    Well I did a little work before the great snows fell! but really got on with the rest a few weeks ago. I have the luxury of working term time only so dragged my poor daughter (7) to the allotment everydayof the Easter break! actually she was a marvellous help. anyway, I have added a few pics, unfortunately I cannot find any from before we staretd work but the first few I have put up were after a good day or two's clearance back in October and then the last few are how it looks now. The canvas shelter you can see in the later shots make a good makeshift play tent for littleun plus somewhere to sit and have coffee!....hope you enjoy x
    sorry couldn't attach all at once so 1st post is before xmas and second is now!
