Allotment

 My dad had last week off work so started teaching Ben how to ride his bike without stabilisers ,Ben's been doing really well and I'm sure it wont be long before he finds his balance and is whizzing about .Especially with Molly to help .
 About 2 months ago i got a phone call offering me a allotment :) after lots of squeals of joy we accepted and I'm now the very proud owner of a allotment... yay! Its on land given to the people of the village by a mill owner so not owned by a council so we can pretty much do whatever we want with it we don't have to keep it neat and tidy and grow rows of turnips we can keep any animal we want on it even cows and pigs ! and we can have bonfires camp on it etc etc i so happy their isn't lots of strict rules its all very laid back . Ive got plans to get some raised beds and grow some yummy veg and plant lots of flowers but mainly leave it just as somewhere for me and the pixies to come and play and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.
 This is my grown up girls Wendy house :) and me trying to dig a hole .
 This is the view from my allotment :) its so quiet with just the sound of the sheep chickens and ducks i love it ,i just wish summer would last another couple of months so i can enjoy it more .
 My dad found this at a charity shop for the pixies to play with on the allotment .
 Molly May relaxing with a book . She absolutely loves reading books shes not fussy what she reads i even found her reading one of my dads old maths exercise books , i think i should of called her Matilda.
This is the first ever plant to be planted on my allotment its a little raspberry plant a very proud moment however when we cam back the next day some naughty rabbits had eaten most of the leaves ! so we quickly put a little chicken wire fence round it to try and save the rest .
