Last week was drama-free, thank goodness, but I must admit we are very wary when walking in the park, as is Ruby.
I've managed to find quite a lot of information about the group involved, which has been passed on to the police; however, whether they follow up on it is anyone's guess.
I described the incident on Facebook and had lots of responses. Social media often has a bad press, but it can also be very useful.
Last week was horrendous but more on that later.
We have had some rain, making the top layer of soil quite moist, but when Martyn tried digging, at a spade's depth, the ground was still hard and dry. Any digging will remain on hold.
The main activities at the moment are bed clearance and some harvesting.
It's coming round to the time when we spend less time at the allotment.
Last week we didn't visit the plot until Sunday afternoon. We have now had some rain and the beds have darkened from the pale grey colour. More rain was forecast, so we prioritised harvesting. This was just as well, as soon after we had gathered things together, it started to rain and we loaded the car and headed for home.
The ground is already littered with fallen leaves.
Astrological autumn is marked by the date of the autumn equinox when both the northern and southern hemispheres have the same number of daylight hours. The date varies, but this year it falls on 22 September.
Last week we had some showery rain. It was enough to have us sheltering under trees for a few minutes, but not enough to penetrate the soil, so the watering can hasn't yet been retired.
My sister, who lives a short distance away, had heavy rain, but once again it didn't reach us.
There is less and less to water, so this task is becoming less dominant.
The water pressure issue has yet to be addressed; at this rate, the problem will leak into next year. Excuse the pun
I'm sure that if the problem had been sorted out, watering would have been far less time-consuming, and we would have been able to keep up with other tasks.
