Last week was mostly dry until the weekend when the heavens opened and the heavy rain was accompanied by thunder. The temperature last week, however, was variable. We continued tidying on the allotment.
Martyn wanted to burn the huge pile of debris he had acquired by cutting back various bushes and I trimmed one of our apple trees and thinned out the raspberries which added to the bonfire pile. We have to wait until an hour before dusk before lighting bonfires. This was particularly ironic as a nearby industrial unit was burning something very smelly all afternoon while we dutifully waited for the acceptable time slot. This meant that we stayed on the plot later than usual and by the time we left, I was frozen. The chicken casserole that had been cooking in the slow cooker was just what we needed.
Sue, you've accomplished a lot, even though you're cold. We also have a problem with the apple tree - it needs to be trimmed because it might fall. Have a nice weekend.
