  • Sketch from a stormy day (a while ago)

  • Ley line

  • Allotment Plotting

    A day of our own ley-line lying in the late autumnal sun and showers.Relating my boot measurement to yours…How many paces make a plot?The plotting looks different on paper, in measurement to when marked out in reality. A reminder that the place always leads the action there and how we work with/in it. That is […]

  • Tall Trees

    20th November and after a week of storms and high winds, peace, warmth and calm descends on the garden. The warm autumn sun makes the place sing. Over at the Tall Trees Allotment site things are really coming on. The first strim has been done and reduced the waist high grass to a manageable level […]

  • Rain and rain again

    Thursday. wet and stormy November day. Sat in the polytunnel HQ having a few cuppas and a good ol’ chat. Lots of plans made and sensible discussions about what is going where and how. All very exciting, making plans. The torrential rain hammering on the polytunnel roof made talking almost impossible. It reminded us NOT […]
