Went up to the allotment today to aim to get another bit dug over. On the way up I noticed one of Hilary's new sculptures in the area she was working on yesterday, just outside of the walled garden.
I got the spade and wheel barrow out and went up to my patch aiming for gold. My friend the robin popped in from time to time and was getting used to me pottering around. I also had a flying visit from a squirrel who was checking out the border.
As I was coming to the last part of today's dig I noticed a very large root sticking up from the ground. On closer inspection it looked like a tree root, so I started to dig and dig and dig. I never found the bottom but I found intertwined roots that eventually snapped, is that good or bad???
I pulled out one of the bits that snapped of and got my go go gadget eyes on the case, looks like wood to me!!
After my unplanned dig for roots I was left with a pile of soil and a big hole so I ended up having to dig over a bit more to conceal my mystery dig!
I was very pleased by the end of today, I now only have one third to go, there is a light and I can almost touch it. I will be disappointed when its all dug over I have really enjoyed it. I guess the next chapter will then start, planting!
The light was starting to dim so I decided to call it a day.
I said goodbye to the king of the hen clang, who was getting used to seeing me and was not bothered by my presence at all, yet another new wild friend to add to the list!!
As I was leaving walking down the drive to the convent there was a spectacular view that really captured my mood and made me really appreciate my surroundings.
