Allotment pond

My allotment greenhouse didn't make it through the February storms so I made a pond in it's place! Only problem is I spend too much time watching the pond critters rather than weeding the plot! 🦟🪳🐌🌱

Fresh food from allotment; cauliflowers, broccoli, peas, carrots and strawberries.

Lots of lovely food brought home from the allotment this evening! 🌱

People around a fire at night in the centre of Castlerigg stone circle, Keswick, UK

Castlerigg stone circle last night; summer solstice sunset. There was a huge thunderstorm which was awe inspiring! If you look carefully you can see the ancient stones in the shadows. Could be a scene from thousands of years ago!
