Myself, Vicky and Lindsay met Angela, Chair of the Allotment Association at Lowmoor Allotments on an overcast Saturday afternoon. Our task was to wheelbarrow some manure from the huge pile in the car park to Angela's allotment some distance away (and uphill too).

First we were tasked with filling 7 bags of manure and then wheelbarrowing them up to Angela who was waiting for us at her allotment. The bags were put inside Angela's fruit cage for later use (using bags as the wheelbarrows were too big to get into the fruit cage).

Our next task was to wheelbarrow manure to the back end of Angela's allotment and she requested 9 barrows (or 12 if we could manage it). Of course we obliged and did the full 12 and Angela was very grateful.

We took the wheelbarrows back and locked them safely away in the children's allotment where Angela kindly offered us some Bramley (cooking) apples to take with us. Exactly what I needed to go with my rhubarb I'd planned to have after dinner this evening!
