Raspberry

I can't tell you how honoured I am to have been invited to contribute to this blog - thank you sooo sooo much M. You are so very kind.

Seriously, I'm happy to be starting on the allotment again after all this time. Even though it was all your fault, M, for us not being able to go up and carry on what we started all that time ago, I can forgive you (just the once) and I'm looking forward to arguing about something different with you.

First though, we have to go up, harvest the bumper crop of rasp and goose berries, and reclaim the tools from somewhere beneath all that horrific bramble. We've got a babysitter for Saturday (my dad and step mum). Hopefully when H and C can get started, it won't look too daunting - and that will be their reward for being brave enough to say yes to this folly.

Or we could leave a bit of bramble for them...

Don't know why it's signed me in as my old blogger name. I haven't done owt like this for a while. Thought I'd signed mesen in as D.
Anyway Sadeeqa means 'friend' (from when I was studying Arabic) so I'll just have to stick with it.

Welcome back! Take comfort in the fact children arriving have ruined many a start to allotmenting ;>) Good luck with it all.
