Another beautiful day, three in a row now.

Went to allotment after breakfast, to continue the fence repairs / building, and to burn more rubbish. Most of the wood from the old fence is rotten and only fit to burn.

Martin has now finished putting wire mesh around the righthand side "turned over" section, to keep out the rabbits.

Martin has set up a "test" to see if its is going to work. He has put two carrots in the middle of the section which is protected by the wire mesh to see if the rabbits can get at them. Assuming they like supermarket carrots, rather than organically grown then we can expect to find exhausted rabbits lying on the path where they have repeatedly hurled themselves at the wire mesh fence, attempting to get access to the carrots.

We are actually getting compliments from other allotment holders, on how well we have done to make this much progress.

I can see that we will have people asking us for advice before long!

After lunch, the good weather continues. I manage to get some more preparation done for our Campervan trip,  checking bikes over to ensure they are ready to take away.
