Back to work to do a bit of catching up, same with Tuesday 18th August 2015.
Wednesday 18th August 2015
Recommencing the holiday - took missus to Uttoxeter, came back 2pm and it started to rain so allotment work put off.
Thursday 19th August 2015
Up early dog walked etc. Down lotty got lots and lots harvested. Mowed round both plots. Did a bit of weeding. Plenty more to do. Looks like plot 5 has gone to seed wonder if he's giving it up? Went a walk and got a tub of early blackberries need to get out again as it looks like being another good year for them.

Up early. Dog walked three times. off to London. Pics to follow but visited (in order) Buckingham Palace and saw brass band, guards and all sorts going on, Trafalgar Square (don't know why we've not been there properly before, Leicester Square for a big dinner, Covent Garden, Oxford Street, Tower Bridge then back to Euston. It was expensive in parts but we drove to Lichfield Trent Valley and took London Midland service into London with a day travelcard for London Transport and the cost was £80 for 4 on a family travelcard and you only have a ticket each to carry - thought that was damn good value! Got home just as Birmingham vs Derby game was winding up - four draws for Derby so far is not looking too good.

Up early. Dog walked. Did a little bit at the lotty. Golf at lunch time - only played 14 holes as group in front very slow and wouldn't let us through so went up 13 instead of playing 9th. Karma got them though as it absoluetly hammered it down with rain when on way back home. Serves em right. Chippy Tea.
Sunday 23rd August 2014
Up early. Dog walked. Down lottie - got some runner beans and some french beans, a celeriac (no idea of spelling) and some spuds (just one plant resulted in the haul below!), did a bit of weeding and then back home for 9:30.
Took pooch for her 6 week grooming and did a bit of shopping in Belper. Coffee and a bacon buttie at morrisons very nice indeed. Problem is that you can barely see difference now we keep her in good nick but you can feel the difference.
