Home from the field to a beer cold from the fridge with a very large whisky chaser.
KLAXON: the broad beans are showing, they're up, just gotta hope they stay up and don't get slugged this season. And the first spuds, some are just up too.
Also , is that a thing already (and if not oughtn't it be)?

View down onto the allotment plot from atop the tallest stack of precast concrete culvert segments, laundry is pegged out across three washing lines to dry. Higher up through the elder trees a Palestine flag flutters in the gentle breeze.

: if you toot successive sentences beginning "Potting up…" and "High time…" you might just gain some unexpected followers!
But anyway, time with a second extremely large whisky in hand, to sink like hot knives through butter into a piping hot bath!

#ReNatureLdn volunteers setting off across the marshes for the pub at the end of the day, the (allegedly hybrid) black poplars to the left casting long shadows over the grass and onto the pavilion wall. Volunteers on foot, some pushing loaded up bicycles.

Wakes up from post-renaturing siesta before 11pm.
Came home with a clump of yarrow liberated by our 'weeding' at the base of the bee mound. It''s destined for a small patch of semi-arid substrate recently created in between some of the pre-cast concrete sections scattered at the back of the .

So that clump of yarrow in its new home will hopefully perk back up after being trapped in a bag overnight, and there's a wet scrape in the making. Whether beneath the gooseberry is the best place for the scrape is perhaps debatable though?
Also been making progress on the new front gate (not shown).
