Visit to Innox Hill allotments June 2008

Thanks to Tricia, Simon, Graham, Ruth and their friends for a dreamy summer Sunday afternoon at the unique Innox Hill allotments in Frome.

My thoughts, apart from deep pleasure, were that in seeking to incrase substantially local food production, we must not reproduce the faults of intensive agriculture. So what I appreciated was the wonderful mixture of food crops, flowers, hens, wildlife (we saw newts, tadpoles, and a slow-worm.

Thanks for the cakes too, and to Veronica O'Donaghue who took over as photographer after I had broken the camera! It has now gone away for repair.
