New Allotment

Promised Layla that today we would go and see her new allotment, weather was OK sunny but still with a cold wind. picked up some sandwiches from Cafe Citron, made a big flask of coffee and away we go. First to the house to get Layla and Bella as we were walking to the allotment, Joe was coming but he decided to drive as he was taking his tools to do some work if required. The walk over was lovely went through this old churchyard were I got a photograph of a time glass on a grave for my blip! Also walked over the "links" and it was lovely to see all the crocus blooming, super colours.
Arrived at the allotments, Layla's new one is quite open and faces south, as it was such a good day we decide to start digging, and turn the soil over. We had to go to the old plot to pick up the necessary tools, then we got started, Joe was clearing the greenhouse, Bella decide to stay in her pram and sleep! Karen arrived and soon many hands make light work! we dug over about a good half of the plot. Suddenly the weather changed and bacame cold, dark rain clouds gathering in the west, just as we decided to leave the rain started, drove back to Layla and Joe's had lunch then came home, leaving the wee one 'playing' with her mobile
Took Ruaridh to the woods this morning, then he had a great time at the allotment sniffing all over the plot.
Minestrone soup for dinner followed later by pancakes. Juat watched a movie on BBC4 'Reichenbach Falls' quite good. Bye.
Forgot to mention there is a total eclipse of the moon going on at this moment 2330 hours moon is now in darkness, but with a lovely warm orange glow. Amazing!
