Got a new plot on an allotment closer to home, so lots of digging and clearing over the next few weeks. Nice to be preparing a new site.

That sounds brilliant. Walking distance?

Not quite on the plot today, but I've been out and got some tanalised timber ready to make the structures for the blackberries and another fan, this time for the gage.
Vine eyes ordered off ebay and en route, so hopefully, weather permitting I can crack on between Christmas and New Year  ;)

Bought the screws and hinges etc to make my cold frame and bean frames from my pallet wood... not been to the plot for a few days - hope its still there and not floated away with all the rain and snow.

I've done too much, as usual. One of my lotty neighbours ordered a load of manure, thinking it was about 2 tons.................. wrong. Big agricultural tractor turns up with an 8ton capacity trailer full of manure. 3 of us decided to share it and split the cost, £20.  ;)
Yesterday I moved about 30 barrow loads but with rain forecast for the weekend I decided to finish the job today............... about 50 barrow loads. I reckon I'll sleep a bit tonight. It's a sort of happy tired.  :blink:

What plot? Where?

Thank heavens for days with colder weather and reduced daylight (although I hate both).
Fewer weeds growing and no one else doing wonderful things on our site so maybe my absence hasn't been noticed too much for now. 
::)

Dry sunny days requested for when I have time in the New Year (here's hoping).
