Well the weather forecast for today was correct, snow, but thankfully not as much as feared. 5 days into the new year and we've had floods, snow and cold temperatures which are set to last for at least another week.
I shall have to plan my allotment whilst keeping warm by the fire on an evening.

Popped to the allotment on Saturday and ended up putting my neighbour's shed roof back on and putting it back in place since he has a bad knee and the shed hadn't moved since the last storm damaged it.
I had only visited the plot to take a garden fork home for cleaning and sharpening.

Weeding has commenced with haste. It's been a very wet winter at times and I've still a bit of ground preparation to do. Removing bindweed roots as been an annual winter past time this past decade or so but still more invade each summer.

After the recent storms I finally got around to repairing the roof. It might be in the New Year when I get around to sorting out inside and getting rid of water damaged stuff.

Whilst Storm Bert fools around outside I've spent the day sorting through some of the seeds that I have saved from this year. The runnerbeans once dried have been removed from their husk and put in a tin for storage.

I managed to catch a half hour of daylight after work and continued my big clean up. With illness and an ever increasing workload I haven't had the time or energy this autumn to do all that I would have liked to.
