However...

although you might think this is the time of year to take some time off, you must never transgress one of the allotment rules: 'Thou shan't go on holiday in summer!
- Mitchell Beazley

Spent most of today here. As I was leaving I was chatting to another plot holder and having a nose on his plot and I tripped and fell backwards into one of his raised beds...totally flattening his lovingly grown sweetcorn. I’m ok but definitely feeling it in my neck, shoulder and back and I’m feeling terrible for squashing his veg - not a euphemism.
