I wasn't sure we would be able to fit in a trip to the allotment this weekend, but by some careful juggling of time we did manage it. In fact, the weather was quite pleasant and the sun even came out for a short while.
I spent the time weeding. It is surprising how many weeds there seem to be when you look closely. The Tame photographer took apart some estate agent boards (3 of them) which we had collected during the week. The plastic signs make a very good, and virtually indestructable, lining for the compost heaps. The long 2"x2" poles will have many applications in the future, I am sure. We now need at least three more to complete the last heap.There was still a bit of time after this so the Tame Photographer tidied up the odd bits of wood we had inherited from the previous owner and took that stuff that even we thought was beyond being useful up to the tip. I sowed two rows of leeks in my nursery bed. The onions are begining to sprout but there is no sign of the broad beans or corn salad yet - maybe next week.
We are now experiencing the "worst storm this winter". I can only say that this winter must be been very short on bad storms. It is indeed windy, but I'm sure we have had worse. I can only hope the plot is surviving this onslaught.

The Tame Photographer had to work yesterday afternoon, so the photos of this weekend's visit are yet to arrive. I will post them soonest.
