Mum and Dad came for lunch yesterday with a trip to the allotment planned afterwards. Mum stayed at home and Neil took the boys to play football. Dad and I went up to put in the supports for the Raspberries. Dad had prepared some metal stakes and wood to screw into them and eventually place wire along for the Raspberries to cling to.
It was hot work and when we got there you could definately see I haven't been for 10 days or so!!! Holidays are the worst ironically as the boys are not interested/too busy doing something else to want to go up. Anyhoo, Dad did some wonders and got the supports up and then had to dash off to get ready to go away.
I stayed longer and tidied up a bit, cut grass, weeded, picked some green beans (our first) and dug up some lovely red potatoes. There is so much to do and it was warm by 6pm with a breeze, I could happily have stayed til dark but it was time to potter back with my goodies and see the boys before bath time.
I enjoyed it so much I want to go again now but we are off to visit Grandma for a week so it will have to wait!
Neil and Sammy had been up two days before to literally water and come back as it had been super hot and they took some pix of Sammy with the chickens at the next plot up. Bliss!
