The weather is teasing us
The weather is still playing with us. We've had some lovely spring weather interspersed with cold winds that have us adding extra layers of clothing. It has been a game of Russian roulette as to whether or not the showers fall on us. They had heavy rain just a few miles away from us whereas we had a pleasant dry day. Most of our rain has conveniently waited until after dark which has meant that we have been able to do lots more tidying on the plot and in the garden.
Martyn prepared the bed that will house our new strawberries while I fertilised the existing strawberries and did more weeding. It doesn't make for interesting photographs, but one little friend found our activity of great interest.

Comparing Notes
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.
