I did manage a five minute sit down to appreciate the birdsong before I left (I was only there 3/4 of an hour all told) 😊 #eveningchorus #birdsong #birdsoftheworld #birds | #kent #england
How my friend's little allotment looked as I left it yesterday evening. I even managed to finally take down last year's runner bean poles - something I've been meaning to do for ages 🙂 #allotmentgardening #allotment #gardening | #kent #england
From yesterday proper. My octogenarian neighbour had allowed some potatoes to "go over", but they were fine I thought to use as seed potatoes. I know this isn't the best of ideas (they might not be best suited to our climate), but I'm really only taking a relaxed approach, and what grows, grows.. 🙂 #allotmentgardening #allotment #gardening #potatoes | #kent #england
One from yesterday (Monday) on my short walk home from the allotments. I was impressed with how alert this drake mallard was when he heard someone training their puppy 🐕🦆 The hen wasn't so bothered 🙂 #mallards #birdsoftheworld #birds | #kent #england
