    Spent all day up the plot, tidying, fixing the shed and weeding. Well dischuffed as the woman two plots away had the kids up and they were all over the place...my pop round the back of the compsot was out. So grumply I trugged over to the Toilets the paths were like the first day of the Somme and I dragged a bag of stuff that couldn't be burnt or composted for the skip.

    Coming out of the toilet the was a posh new bloke who was clearing the "rubbish" of his new plot. Including 2 fibreglass Rhubarb forcers and two of those blue barrels with the screw tops....

    The day took on a bit of a glow then as I was deciding which crowns to force and how to plum up my new water butts...

      I seem to have a creche on one side of me and a cockerel on tuther!

      I'm determined not to be a grumpy old b*st*rd though and will just 'go with the flow'

        I seem to have a new neighbour on the plot. Came round today with four of her friends, two of which were dressed in what I call "Sunday going to church gear". The plotholder seems nice enough, but the others - !!!!!

            Peace and quiet, not on my plot

            What happened to getting away for some peace?
            It was like a building site today, at least 2 rotavators thumping away, 1 chain saw, 1 brush cutter, even a generator to power a blokes circular saw so that he could cut up some wood for his beds. Then there was hammering and chopping, thumping posts into the ground and when all that died down the sound of a gas burner boiling the kettle.

            Be glad to get back to work for some real quality time to myself!

              Our site is always peaceful, despite being next door to 3 schools. We had some probationers up today, supposedly clearing brambles...looked like the supervisors were doing some strimming, while the yoofs alternated between footie with stones, and teabreaks. Apparently they aren't insured to do any real work!

                My wee plot is really quiet for about 20 hours a day, so long as you don't mind tractors etc driving about. The other 4 hours are deafening - it's right below one of the flightpaths for RAF Tain Live Firing Range. Indeed, on a clear day you can not only here the bombs exploding but can actually see them dropping and hitting the sandy ground. It's used by not only UK aircraft but European and Yanks as well - you can spot the yanks easily - biggest planes, flashiest pull ups after dropping their bombs, but their approaches are all over the place - always correcting their flightpath - the Brits are smooth as you like. Still prefer to watch my neighbourhood sparrowhawk in full pursuit mode though.

                  The Yanks are probably looking for British tanks to drop their bombs on Rat, something they are very good at apparently.

                    Rat, for heavens sake do not display any UK OR Scottish flags, the Yanks will shift their aiming point in your direction if you do.

                      Strange you should mention that - they gather up all the UXB's on a Sunday and explode them at 1pm. However, about 6 months ago, I know for a fact (cause I was working two fields away at the time) that a dummy Yank bomb was found on a pig farm - three miles from the range !! Really boosts the confidence in our allies, eh ?

                          Old WW2 saying;

                          When the Luftwaffer bombs the tommys duck
                          When the RAF bombs Fritz ducks
                          When the USAAF boms everyone ducks.

                          they were that good in WW2 they managed to bomb Switzland a few times.
