1 Spotted in a tool box – aren’t these just beautiful things to work with?!
Tool box and sockets
Multi-coloured sockets
2 I walked down to the local allotments this afternoon to find my neighbour enjoying a cup of tea with other alottmenteers. All the following photos were taken around the plots.
Neat paths at the allotments
Beautiful ruby chard
Frog spawn
Calendula at the allotments
3 Back at home, my Three Wise Monkeys planter (made for me by local artist, Jeremy Beswick) always makes me smile, never more so when the miniature daffodils are coming into bloom.

I’ve never seen such colourful tools either. I was very taken with them and surprised the owner by asking to take the photos! 🙂

My husband’s tool box and its contents are sacred items……..not to be touched by anyone else.
But he need not worry about my picking up any work tool. lol

I have always found the allotments in England a fascinating concept.

Is that a community plot?

Yes, people can rent a plot for a very small amount, around £20 a year and then they grow their own veg etc. 🙂
