11th Monday Duty First, Then Digging
After a long day at work — finishing gone 6pm while clearing the backlog of last week’s admin — I turned my attention back to allotment duties. As Chairman, it fell to me to prepare the non‑cultivation letter for Plot 24a, having already discussed the matter with the committee. Once written, I hand‑delivered it to the tenant’s house on my way to the site. A small but necessary piece of keeping the plots in good order.
On the allotment itself, I put in a solid hour of weeding, steady, determined, and very much in the Dig for Victory spirit. One hour doesn’t conquer the front, but it certainly pushes the line forward. Bit by bit, the weeds are losing ground.
A late start, but a worthwhile one. The season marches on, and so do we.
