I went to the allotment after work today. I don’t normally do that because I’m usually knackered from work and have more work to do in the evening. But the load is becoming lighter, so I have more time for the plot.

Little did I know that the allotment is a hive of activity at this time of day. All of the regulars that I see on a Saturday and Sunday were down. Do these people never leave?! A lot of the new people were there also, one family were even putting up a greenhouse (which makes me the only one on my row without one). Most, like me were watering and weeding. It’s nice to be out when the weather is good and the sun is shining. The long evening shadows make the allotment look and feel very different.
