My Essential
I’m not entirely sure how I managed to fit in things like blogging when I had children at home all day instead of at school. How do other mothers do it? I’m only able to write this because I am sat at the kitchen table, loosely supervising a very lovely sleepover happening in the sitting room.
So, I thought I’d use my time productively and here we are. As usual I’m not entirely sure what I do with my time but I know that while the children are home for the Easter holidays, gardening has got squeezed a bit.
Of course, they can help and do their own gardening. And some of them do. But I just find it hard to squeeze in a bit, mainly because I want more than ten minute snatches before I have to push someone on the swing, or break up a squabble.
So at the weekend I made myself go up to the allotment. It was hard. I do not want to give anyone the impression that I spring out of bed like Tigger, happy and ready to start my day. Oh no.
I was awake for ages and had to give myself a Good Talking To before I stirred my bones. But, as always, I was pleased I had. I knew I wouldn’t get the chance for some quiet, vital, allotment pottering this week really.
I was a bit amazed at how little I got done (there seems to be a theme here). But I went and I did sow some more lettuce and carrots. Little and often. That’s the way to do it. And it was good.
I’m all for gardening with children, showing them where carrots come from, but equally I need this Quiet Lottie Pottering Time. It is vital.
:: Edited to add that I’ve just found out, via Twitter, love Twitter, that the Government may put allotments under threat by removing the statutory duty of councils to provide them. If you’ve read my blog previously you’ll know how important my allotment is to me. Other lottie holders feel the same too. And it won’t affect just current plot holders – it affects every future one too.
This site explains it better – but if you want your views to be heard you only have until April 25. Don’t delay, help protect allotments now ::
