Just the Two of Us!

Well the school holidays are over and so the allotment tending is now reserved mainly for the weekends. However, Matt and I occasionally get days off in the week. That was the case on the first week back at school.

Matt and I arranged to meet down at the plot and get some more weeding done. Although it now seems like a distant memory, we were still in the midst of our heat wave and it has to be said, a full days graft was not on the agenda! Hooray for me, my signature short sharp burst approach was entirely acceptable given the heat. Having said that with my expertise in emptying the wheelbarrow and picking up in the weeds in Matt's wake and Matt's terribly impressive enthusiasm, we managed to clear the left hand side of the plot.

Forgive me for singing our praises, but we had expected this to take weeks to acheive and we had managed it in a week! This was an acheivement to say the least. Though it did come at the cost of burnt ears, chests and arms and the consumption of much orange juice, not to mention Matt and Louises ingenious frozen bottles of water (sounds impressive but to be honest, the buggers wouldn't melt and they ended up drinking our juice!!!!)

So another visit over in just a couple of hours but our chests were well and truly puffed out, we were impressed, in fact, the elation we felt as we left the plot that, well, you would have thought the whole lot had been done that day by, as the title suggests, just the two of us!

(I will add pics to demonstrate our progress to this point shortly)
