Pre-Christmas allotment...

As I write this the snow is piled high outside and all over the north west people are grumbling: about blocked and slippy paths; about roads with no grit and councils with no idea; about having to take flexi instead of being paid to stay at home. So it is with a touch of embarrassment that I post these photos from the allotment during what was described as 'possibly the worst snow fall of the winter' back in December. How little they knew.

Here are our winter onions, just poking through the dusting:

The leeks that continue to provide tasty leek and potato soup:

And one of the hives, where inside the bees should be snug and warm. It's too cold to check so I have to hope they're ok.
