Dear fellow allotment holder, It was so nice to see you on the allotment site today with your friends and with the accompanying squad of children causing havoc all over the place, Clearly, your idea of social distancing and mine are quite different as are your hygiene standards. I couldn't believe it when I saw you line your children up to wash their hands from an IBC which collects water from a shed roof, before the barbecue lunch prepared for them outside your plot. i.e not within your plot. Oh and your scrap of a dog which came into my plot and tried to nip the back of my leg. Anyway, I've complained to the Allotments Committee Chairman who happened to come on sight whilst your children were rampaging. He didn't speak to you directly because he does understand the meanining of social distancing but he has assured me that the riot act will be read.

I do hope you understand that.

You have to wonder at people like that AP whither they are dumb or just so self centered that they don't care about anyone else, when you see the lines of people waiting to go up mountains on foot or chair then think of the deaths they could cause it makes you shudder, I now have stopped going out of area of the house as when in a shop on Saturday I had to ask someone to step back and was told I was worrying about nothing so rather than having an argument with someone I will isolate and my family will provide for us, though my son collected a bag of salad leaves from us today I left the bag on the step but OH took it a bit sore when she couldn't give the boys a hug, but when we come through this we hope to watch them growing up now that I have that off my chest I will say goodnight and God Bless to everyone

Look after yourself Jay.

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Frosty start. Have a good day

[Snadger]

Big virtual hugs to you Jay.

I've just finished my egg sarnie made with two banty eggs. The house next to where I go fishing had an honesty box with eggs yesterday.

I do like banty eggs as they have a higher yolk to white ratio.

A bit of shopping and a lot of gardening planned for today.

Take care folks.

Speedy recovery Jay xx

[Jay22]

Morning all and thanks again for all your kind words, means a lot!
It’s a lovely start to the day here but cold.
Hope you are all keeping safe and looking after yourselves and each other!!
Our daughter went home yesterday after spending the week with us, awful to think we may not see her or our son-in-law for who knows how long, thank goodness for the internet!!
Hope you all have a lovely day even if we are in isolation!

[Nicos]

Mornin n'alln'all
Wow Jay..that must have been a bit of a shock!!!!...at least you didn't get much of a time to start worrying about it
Speedy recovery lass xx

Talking of self isolating ...I need to go to the shops today ( lunchtime is usually almost deserted anyway so I'm hoping it'll be even quieter!!) and boy what a faff with filling in forms and making sure I'm going to be safe in a shop environment.
All very much worth while but I'm feeling quite wary of going.
I could probably last until Friday but there may be a kerfew in place by then so more peeps will be shopping at the same time...therefore more risky?
Not been out for a week so it's going to be interesting seeing how quiet everywhere hopefully is.

Keep safe peeps!

[Thelma Sanders]

Mornings!
Another beautiful sunny morning to lift my spirits after a night broken 3 times by cramping legs. It's been a while since this last happened, so suppose I shouldn't complain too much.
Legs are sore now, so probably just some garden pottering for me today, it'll be lovely in the greenhouse

Have a good'un and stay safe

[Bren In Pots]

Take care Jay xxx

Happy sunshiny Monday.

The washing machine is whirring while I write - catching up on all the stuff I've been unable to wash while its been so wet. Hope the birds don't decorate it, as they did yesterday! Luckily it was the corner of a sheet so I could dunk it in a bowl of soapy water and wash it off, while it was still pegged out.

Enjoy your day and smile at others from a distance.

Morning, keep safe Jay and I hope for a speedy recovery for you, keeping as low a profile as a 6 foot 4 bloke can over here...…………………………….

[Snoop Puss]

Big hug, Jay, from me too. Hope you make a speedy recovery.

Morning all. Bucketing down here. The lakes that were once veg patches are growing deeper. Gah!

Mr Snoop has to go and get water from town for us today. The dirt track will be interesting and so will any cops/army who stop him on the way... We have no official forms here, like Nicos has, so he's taking photos on his phone to show them home. They might even follow him back. The army would love that on the dirt tracks in their armoured vehicles, not so much the cops if they're in a nice white, shiny car.

Busy day ahead. Hope you're all doing well.
