Not Much Gardening
Ok, maybe I feel slightly bad about it, but I didnt get round to much actual hands in dirt gardening today. My morning visit, consisted of a bit of watering in the greenhouses before I ran off to see a neighbouring plot holders new chickens. I dont know what I was expecting from rescued battery hens, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well they looked. We stood chatting about chickens and our allotments for ten minutes, before I pulled myself away from the hens.
Not Much Gardening, But A Whole Lot Else
I popped off quite soon after that as it was my day to brave my first trip on a Nottingham bus. After an unexpectedly long walk, detouring round the land of Eastwood and asking at a local college for directions (eventually), a quick nip round Ikea and then it was home again, only to be straight out the door again and on the way to buy some wood. Yes we were on our way to get the wood for our chicken coop. A bit of a squeeze later Team Cheeky Monkey Alfa Zebra Corn, were in the car back off to lotty. What started as making a base soon turned to adding support legs, which led to laying the floor. I did a little bit of sawing and banging in of nails, to the tune of alot of huffing and puffing. John did most of the hard work, while I watched and took notes for when I build the second part today. So now we have the basic outline of our coop. Were all a bit achy, tired and scratchy, but all for a good cause. Iv had every reason to be proud of our team, and today is no different. Thank you both for your hard work. I may not have done any gardening, but John did do some weeding whilst the Blur and I were off on our adventure.
