I took the bank holiday off to climb Pavey ark in Langdale. Quite a lovely day we had. I have wondered why Maureen likes the walk up to Stickle Tarn so much [we do it at least once a year] then today I recalled, it was the first Lake District walk that I took her on. I think it stuck in her mind. .................. Francis Beswick |

Just got back from a few days in Norfolk. Sorry Richard, but we had a lovely time in a beautiful self catering cottage near Fakenham. (Note to self, don't even think of going to Sri Lanka!) Will be going back again next year if we can get five diaries to coincide for a couple of weeks, hopefully in May. .................. |

I harvested the last of the plums today and then spent some time spreading rockdust to remineralize the soil. The weather was glorious, sad that it won't last into next week. Sadly one of the really long-standing old guys on the allotment is having to give up, as he can barely get down these days. He spent an hour and a half, he told us, trapped in his bath last week, unable to get out and getting steadily colder, and he knows that he cannot do much physical anymore.It was he who gave me the allotment several years ago, so it is sad to see him go. ..................

It is sad when the old ones can't keep up their allotments any more. When I had an allotment there was an old man in his eighties called Norman. He taught me loads about growing and was one of those whose compliments were always grudging - but with a twinkle in the eye. He kept his plot immaculately until his last year when he just couldn't keep going. He said to me 'Mine was allus the best plot and now it's the worst' but refused all offers of help. He died that year. I've been busy potting up bulbs to sell in the Spring. The chickens are starting to lay at last but I'd forgotten quite how small pullet eggs are! ..................
