This was as far as I could go on my scooter. Didn’t want to leave it as it would have been out of my sight [ what a society we live in ]

Anything could be in here, 60 years ago the area was a tip for the local glass works. This altered the brook and the area flooded. What a repair job nature has done

The fun we would have had as kids if the area had been like this then All the boys would have been Tarzan, the girls Jane and the youngest would have no choice bet to have been cheetah

Looks like a fab spot, Tony and you were right not to leave your scooter!

So many allotments being broken onto lately have started taking my cultivator home. The hedge behind my scooter is pyracanthus, the last thieves came armed with lopers to cut the hedge and a cordless angle grinder to cut the fence and high security locks

There’s a hollow behind these trees and the small brook over the years has created a mini swamp. It teems with frogs, toads newts, stickle backs and several types of dragon flies.

A wise move Tony, but dreadful that you have to do this because of a few mindless thugs, makes me mad.

How wonderful, is this near your allotment Tony?

Terrible that you have to do this, Tony.

That’s fabulous, Tony – it looks a lovely place

Goodness Tony. Do the plotties keep a lot of expensive stuff there? Do you think your recent publicity has helped target your allotment?

How lovely Tony, it sounds perfect for wildlife watching.

It’s a necessary thing to do Tony, we get a spate of break ins now and then so I don’t keep anything valuable at the lottie.

Goodness Tony, what a shock, your meter was certainly worth buying.

So easy to use, equal amounts by volume of soil and distilled water. Soil has to be dry, mix water and soil, stir for half a minute then let stand for thirty minutes Dip end of meter into solution and one of the red lights comes on to indicate the level

goodness ! Is there no end to the things I need to know about ….soil-salt-levels Thanks Tony

Strange lighting this morning, but as the wind picked up the sun came through with blue sky

Thought it my reactor light glasses ’till I took them off and it still looked the same

Weird wasn’t it Tony

Sand off the Sahara,Whiped up by the wind.

I like the Teds’ interpretation more Allan

It tasted delicious

Wow! A meal in an apple Tony …

A corker Tony,
