An unusual departure from the normal today as I went to the allotment during the week. Two separate events occasioned this venture - firstly my work was throwing out some very useful looking metal racking/shelving systems which seemed just to good to miss and secondly my son, who has just returned from university, wanted to see the allotment and simply couldn't wait until daylight tomorrow. He appears to be completely nocturnal so a night time visit didn't seem to phase him. So between us we loaded up our poor car and set off, armed with torches. I have the admit there really wasn't much to see in the pitch dark, but at least the shelves are not taking up space at home. Goodness only knows what the lady watching from across the road made of us - me in my work clothes, high heels and all and my scruffy side-kick manhandling a set of shelves into the allotment in the dead of night. I should be grateful the police didn't arrive to join in the fun! Also - no photos - the tame photographer was still at work and it was far too dark even for a D3 with its 6400 ISO.
