In spite of terrible forecast, went up to allotment and stayed for 4 hours in brilliant sunshine and a bit of a breeze (near Hastings and Battle). Put up a terrible Lidl plastic tunnel thing from last year (has anyone else suffered from these? Hoops that collapse, made of awful brittle white plastic?) to cover snap peas. Soaked peas and kept in airing cupboard until roots showed, as I don't like sowing duds. (Obviously will remove tunnel when they are tall enough).
Did lots of digging and cleared second asparagus row, and cleaned out artichoke row. Very, very pleased with my day. Even more now that it is pouring with rain.
Got home to find first husband's second wife sitting in my kitchen discussing depression with my daughter, a bit of a downer. What she needs is an allotment.
Promised second husband supper at 7, so had better get on with it. (Pork chops; first husband a pig farmer, and second wife - husband died a few years ago - says she cannot face pork any more, but I love it).
