I'm sure that being there will have provided a welcome and therapeutic break. I'm in a quandry about the allotment which has been neglected since my fall. My right hand is now somewhat stronger but various health issues including asthma make me reluctant to visit the plot. I'm sure that social distancing would be ok but issues like using a shared toilet make me wonder. On the other hand I feel guilty about not using that room for growing and don't want the plot to become overgrown.
