A quiet joy – allotment visit and a bit of edging of the plot, some watering. And we have signs of life….. the plug plants have yet to die, spinach, pak choi and bush beans seem to be appearing. Add some oregano into the mix. Meet a few other allotment holders as I’m leaving. Think the whole early thing works for me but isn’t the most social of options.
Home and a shop with C, nip for a coffee along the way and a beer on the way back.

In other news I end up chatting to someone who works at SLAIS and who knew the McIlwaine’s. Ia has apparently shuffled of this mortal coil which is sad. Turns out she has a Wikipedia page the obit is here.
Bus home was a bit of an adventure, came home via Winstanley, no idea why, was a touch weird but what the heck.
Photo today was a Sunday snap when I got beyond a set of gates that are usually shut. I guess a little light urbex. Either way it was interesting and the string of lights set things off nicely.
Tomorrow’s prompt is ‘found’ so will have to channel my inner Marcel Duchamps. Be interesting to see what sort of found objects I come across.
