Leeks and hard work

It has been a glorious day, warm and bright and not at all like a day in October. It has also been a day that a great deal has been done. I have cleared most of the weeds and summer veg from the allotment, picked the sprouts and have pulled the first of my leeks, which are on the short size, but taste absolutely lovely. I have also lugged tons of compost around and the chicken shit has made it rich,wonderfully strong but rather smelly!


George has spent the day keeping me company, (and chewing a discarded pumpkin) he has also sat for ages just watching the chickens with an unhealthy interest.
