Hello! Lovely to see your work today and chat. I remembered - Ormesby Hall in Middlesbrough where Joan Littlewood and her theatre company stayed!

My favourite Kitchen Aid for tackling the mountain of apples. So satisfying! #allotment #garden

4Sisters planting experiment gone very well. Runner beans growing up corn on the cob, squash ripening and lots of sunflowers. Pity I planted close to my washing line. Planning a different spot for next year. #allotment#gardening

Delighted with today’s allotment pickings #allotment#gardening

The egg laying queue! #allotment

Cucumbers and tomatoes

Freshly picked from allotment where we have raised beds and a Polytunnel. Apples need picking today

Today’s pickings.

Glorious day. Grapes nearly ripe enough to pick #allotment#harvest

Pleased with the pickings today! #allotment
