A brief tour around Plot 45 an allotment at Cunningdale, Buxton on a lovely sunny day in April when the only sounds were the breeze in the bushes and trees and the rustle of bird wings as they ferry food to their chicks or simply feed up for the gruelling breeding season ahead.

Lilly the Collie is enjoying a break after a mornings hard graft enjoying a break. It is a very peaceful, tranquil place, and as the summer draws nearer it will get better and better. I am looking forward to sipping a glass of something red and robust sitting on the bench, and listening to bird song and Jon and Dia White’s plans for the next phase.
