Allotments 4 All

Just finished a garden up in the smoke, well Cheam really, 8 days of mad traffic, nosey neighbours, expensive beer and leery delivery drivers.

Dry weather all the time made it bearable and I could have been home yesterday but there was a mixed grill and a few pints on offer last night as a bonus for finishing early. So up at sparrowfart this morning and back on the Island by 9 am. No access for machinery so all done by hand, all the ground dug and raked level,  our style flowerbeds planted with a couple of thousand plants and half a dozen trees, nice lawns laid back and front gardens, shed built, fences put up,  patio and paths layed in natural handcut sandstone. Now I can have a week off before we are off to do another one.

I'm sure it looks great ACE..  :)

My goodness you have worked hard, enjoy a rest . .

Well, one would be pleased to see me, the other would rather have me away earning a crust, I'll leave it up to you to make up your mind. ;D

Cheam counts as London - Just - but is considered a nice quiet bit of town - very civilised!!

If it wasn't for the traffic I would agree. 10 minute trip early morning to Banstead for the wholesale nursery 90 minutes to get back. I could have laid half a lawn in that time.

Your hit the morning "rush" hour then!  Not sure why it is called rush hour when all you do is wear out your clutch...
Took me 40 mins to drive three miles to work one day.  The next day I got my bike out!!
