Making progress, increasing urgency perhaps

This is what Bob has written about the recent days work at the allotment:

A good day was had doing further clearing and preparing the site. Next week, on Wednesday 9th February, we may be able to clean and level the far end of the plot and lift, prepare and replant the raspberries in a row. We lifted a root and there are signs of life so they are at about the right stage to transplant. In addition, there is ample scope to fork over the rest of the site and keep on shaking out the couch grass.

We have removed the small shed (it was beyond redemption, like me) [absolutely not - Ed.] and have transported the useful contents to a local store (we found some useful gardening tools and etc.).

We have defined the site with a post at each corner; measured dimension 21ft-6” x 49ft 8”, or in other words 20’ x 50’

We sorted timber into firewood & possibly re-useable piles

We folded the plastic 'mulch' sheets so we can dig and we carted two loads of rubbish to the tip.

We recycled some good planks and posts to make a place to put manure - which we can do as soon as we can get it (see picture). The planks were only assembled with string so can be re-used at a later date.

A good days work! Its interesting to compare this latest photo with the earlier ones, to see how much progress has been made.
