Yesterday my husband visited the allotment. One of the other people at the allotment gave him some broccoli stalks that had gone to seed for our girls.<\/p>\n

My husband had also bought some turf. They were on offer at five for twenty pounds. The plan is to replace the pallet pathways with turf as the wood gets very slippery when wet and also needs lifting to weed underneath. There was one turf over so the girls got that too.<\/p>\n

I think it is going to take some time for Vanilla to come out of this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
