Claire & Matt visit bearing gifts - 20 August 2006

Have moved Steve's studio up to the spare bedroom and so had to downsize our furniture, so I gained a desk for the shed which I can use as a potting table. Steve helped me move it up there but did point out what a boring picture this would be, so it had to go on!


This afternoon I returned to the allotment and made a scarecrow devise with an old curtain rail, 2o CD's, string, and some electrical tape. Quite pleased with the result will photograph it next time. Also finally finished digging the first third of the plot - yeah!


Had some surprise visitors today, Matt and Claire called up with loads of strawberry plants which have lots of baby strawberry plants attached (can't remember their proper name!). It was lovely to see them and I sent them home with some of John's runner beans and a couple of my chilli's.
