The Lottie






These are some of the first pictures of my allotment. As you can see it is completely overgrown with couch grass and weeds. 500sq ft of hell. Winter is going to be hard work.
You can see in the distance just how long the area is, and the work that is required to turn this barren waste land into something good.

Work has started and I have started to dig over a section at a time.
The first space that I have started on is 17ft x 10ft and I have covered another area with a tarpaulin to stop the growth of the couch grass.
I started by cutting the top layer off down to approx 2 in deep and stacking it at the back of the allotment upside down. I know this won't kill the grass but once the next area is done the whole back area is going to be covered with Tumbleweed to hopefully kill what ever is left.

Madness in charge

What is it with this stupid president of the USA. We will make America great again? America has always been great, but a shared greatness. Now it is heading to an insular great. Countries being alienated against it. People being abused by it and treated like inferior beings, just like they were when they treated their own country folk as different. America is a huge country, large enough to take extra citizens without damaging itself. They could even be used to rebuild the infastructure and industry that this president keeps going on about. There is a massive issue within their country, that many countries have or would deal with, which they are not willing to. GUN CONTROL. Children, adults from all races and religions being killed daily. They blame it on mental health. What a feeble excuse. How did that person get hold of a semi automatic weopan? How did that child get hold of a pistol? Easy, there is no control! Basically anyone can buy a gun, whether it be a pistol right up to

Why

I started life as a little molecule in my mums womb. I grew and became a child of life. When it was time I got kicked out of that warm place where I got fed all the time and I could sleep all the time if I wanted. It was really bright when I came out into the open and then I saw someone holding me in there hands. Then they looked at me, god! what a sight! I started to scream but they just kept making silly noises at me. Then they washed me and put me in this cage that I couldn't get out of. I get kicked out of some where nice and warm and get put into a bloody cage! Over time more and more people started sticking these ugly mugs in front of my face, I started to get used to the fact that not everybody can be beautiful. This woman started sticking things off her body into my mouth and then this warm stuff started coming out and it was quite tasty. Life carried on for a few years and I got bigger and bolder. I had to do what I was told when I was told to do it, or I got hit or shoute
