- I had to do an all nighter at a client site, implementing a new server. It's a big deal.
- Stayed at a odd, but nice place, in the West End
- Took a look at the lottie. French Beans and Squashes have gone mad
- The Potatoes where blighted whilst I was away and the weeds have gone berserk
- Checked out the bees. Huzzah the new queen is viable and busy
- Checked the other hive. It will die off.
- Harvested the onions and shallots
- Harvested some Honey and extracted it
- Outing to the Railway Inn to organised the summer bash at he lottie
- Started to lift the spuds
- Attended the Summer bash. Very good if a trifle staid
- H and Miss L had to go a Brownies bash. 100 years of Girl Guides.
- Went to Steve's after the summer bash, much better
- Went to a seminar in Manchester then went to see Mum and Dad
- Checked out the bees. One hive is thriving and one is dead
- Cleaned up the dead hive
- It was our 23rd wedding anniversary at the end of August, so we had a nice meal
- Went Fencing on the 1st Sept. It was the first day back after the summer break
- Saw the farmers and now have permission to have a few more hives in the meadows
- Went to the lottie to weed, tidy up and to harvest the last of the onions and the garlic
- Cleared out the greenhouses. Lots of Toms
- Went to the Land Rover show in Peterborough
- In between times I have getting out on the bike whenever I have 35 minutes spare
- I have to go to a corporate Golf day in few weeks so I have been getting out on the driving range.
- I got a sun burned back on Saturday whilst digging the spuds
This bloggery is about my allotment in Moira, South Derbyshire, UK. Moira used to be part of the UK coal fields. I have done a lot of double digging on my plot. The ex-miners round here thought I was starting my own pit head hence Mining in Moira. And No, there aren't any Hobbits or Dwarfes round here either, that's Moria.
