I have never thought of allotments as being idyllic, more tatty than that. We had a tall hedge along one side of our allotments which gave some protection, but the farmer has just come along and cut it very short. It gives more light to the back of the allotment, but means anyone can easily get in if they wanted, plus the children who throw the stones at the glass have a much easier shot now

another hot day here methinks.. we went for a walk yesterday afternoon about 4pm but we really should go later than that, the sun was beating down on us all the way there and back to the main street.

Amanda did say it could be some lowlife when the knife had been taken, I was surprised that the stuff could be handed back just like that...I thought it would have been hello hello hello what have we here? that will need to be used in evidence that will. You can have it all back in good time Ms Amanda.

I did not suspect the nut case from the allotment, I didn't believe he would have been that stupid to return to the scene.

I do agree that the allotment has to be more secure.. not to the great lengths of a prison of war camp but something... you always envisage scenes of idyllicness (don't think there is such a word but there should be .. a bit like brooming) with an allotment... but I guess it is a bit like Midsomer what looks like a an idyllic scene of a little village etc can actually wreak mayhem.

I must be off so I'll say goodnight to you both <3 <3

We can't get most stone fruits out of season. We do get strawberries and raspberries but they are expensive and tasteless.

I hope you are going to You can get them all year round here, but they have been in storage so aren't nice

Goodnight Amanda <3

I would be shot by OH if I bought more pots :-0. I won't be buying pots or plants but I will be buying cherries and other stone fruits for now is the season :-D

Goodnight Amanda, sleep well tonight,

Good night Amanda, have a nice lie in tomorrow

Enjoy the market Sue :-D

I'm going to be off now , I had Bella here last night and she got me up at 6am ( shouting " My Nanny , my Nanny " ) , so now I am getting very tired ......lol

I shall keep you all informed :-D

Night night and Good day ( as the case may be ) .

I hope you won't be buying more pots Sue

I'm always cool, Linda :-D forecast is for another hot day.

Yes Tec - the three of us managed to make short work of the shrubs. They were quite large but we trimmed the branches right down and then OH dug up the roots. Easy :-D

I won't be chatting for long. The markets are up and running again so we will be off before it gets too hot.

Hello Sue :-D yes , an incredible turn of events and I wondered the same thing about the possibility of more stolen goods :-0

Tec , I think a " pop gun " and something akin to the cast of " Dads Army " is the best we will muster ......lol

I'm really glad you have never met the dread Lily beetle :-|

You need to let these scoundrels know you're serious Sue :-D

Good morning Sue, are you cool today?

Good Morning Sue,

It was annoying waiting in when I wanted to go out.

Did you get the shrubs up with your neighbour?

A bit of overkill do you think Tec :-D

Hello everyone :-)

I saw the photo on FB, Linda. Poor Eve - I hope it isn't too sore and that it doesn't leave a scar.

How annoying to wait in all day for someone who doesn't turn up, Tec :-(

What an incredible turn of events, Amanda. A lowlife indeed :-( I wonder if there is any other stolen goods at the young woman's house.

I;ve never seen a lily beetle, except on tele

What you need Amanda is,

an electric fence,

razor wire,

a watch tower manned on a rota system,

a very large scary dog on patrol at night

that should deter them :-D :-D :-D

I used to be :-( I hate Lilly beetles :-P
