Back from holidays! - 12 September 2006

Sorry no news lately but have been on holiday with my hubby Steve to Mallorca which was ace. Here's a photo of us up a mountain just off the windiest, narrowest, steepest road i've ever the driven the wrong side of!!


So went up to check on allotment - all is well. Roger and my Mum have put a new felt roof on the shed which looks very smart. We had no fresh food in the house today and the allotment provided the answer - 6 chilli's, a lovely green pepper (probably the only one), rocket, salad, parsley and 3 courgettes! So chilli and green salad for tea - just need to buy an onion.

Gave everything a good watering as it hasn't rained for a few days. My 2 neighbours, Kath and Leslie are both getting new sheds. Was bit sorry to find out that my neighbour killed their weeds with weedkiller - glad I haven't planted that end now, would prefer not to eat nasty chemicals. Will write again soon - strawbs also doing well.
