Birds, Bees, Butterflies, Benches and Books...This week we have been trying to make our plot friendlier to wildlife and fellow allotmenteers. We have added a new bird table, made in a rustic way by my Bri, a new bench made up by my Bri, added a few birdfeeders ready for autumn on the Budle'... oh well let's call it the butterfly tree it's easier to spell. We f
ound a large toad so he'll need a home and that will be coming up and also a bee house. The bench is for loungi
ng around on when the days of weeding are done and all we will have to do is read books and drink tea and enjoy the plot for other reasons. We 
have a book called Alloted Time we could do with reading it, as we never seem to have enough of it. We would really like to enjoy the companionship of our neighbours who always are so kind and generous, like Julie who shared her very special crop of Spring onions with us, or Reg who gave us a beautiful giant cauli, Chris who offered us leeks, Hazel who shares a laugh with us and our dear friend Badger from the Badger Sett who started us off on this wonderful odyssey of learning to grow stuff. I do hope when things slow down a bit we can enjoy all the things our little plot can offer instead of us always running around like ants when they have been disturbed. Meanwhile I shall collect my books ready, get my cushions for the bench to hand and hope that our neighbours will drop by.
