Liv and I both arrived on time and were welcomed by a member of the Thames Valley Housing Team.

A couple of weeks' ago I (Louis) had been round to the property to start the mission -- digging up the earth and shovelling manure to enrich the soil -- clearly so much fun I just had to do more!

We were able to dig up a further 2 x 4 metre plot and lay down several bags of manure, giving our host plenty of room to start growing vegetables when the weather improves.

The mission had one small hitch: during transfer to the wheelbarrow one bag of manure split open! But as they say - s*** happens!
