Old friends

My first time back on my allotment since September, now that the doc says it's ok as long as I protect my eye from flying mud. And it was very nice to be greeted by old friends who've had a bit of a wait for their dinner.
Meanwhile I am outraged by what campaigner Jason Endfield tells me on his blog that more than 70,000 of our British Birds are on a deathlist sanctioned by of all people Natural England. To sign his petition against this horrifying state of affairs p[lease sign his petition on jasonendfield.com
Robins and blackbirds are both o the list.
