Community Day
Lots of plotters working on a range of tasks around the Allotments. Tea/coffee,crumpets and toast provided by those in the kitchen to keep everyone happy. Some shots of this morning and a big thankyou to all.... Many hands make light work, saves paying to go to the gym and the site looks a lot better for everyone's hard work.
