We did not go to the allotment to do any work for about three weeks before Christmas as we were so busy and I had caught a dreadful cold. We just called in every now and then to make sure all was ok. The plot is looking very bleak but the garlic, onions and cabbages and chard are all looking healthy.
Christmas eve we decided that we needed some time out so went to the plot. I did a bit of gentle hoeing and dug up the parsnips for Christmas dinner while Barbara set about making a xmas tree for the plot out of twigs and branches from our plum trees. The decorations were milk bottle tops which my mum gave us and the robin came from the pocket of our scarecrow that my grandson made for us. It was a lovely warm sunny day and was a perfect way to relax before the next hectic few days.
We are going to plant our Christmas tree and redecorate it with fat balls, millet and peanut butter filled cones for the birds and will post pictures later.
