I hope this is a taste of ‘allotmenteering’ from the perspective of a five year old. Thanks to my very special and wonderful grandson Toby… you keep my feet on the ground and give life a more balanced perspective.
( I also had to get this post done soon as I was so pleased with the title… and in a few weeks he will be six!!)
Allotment soup!
Digging for treasure..
…running races.. ( and beating Nan every time!)
snails…
entertaining the wildlife…
Crackers and marmite!
Grow your own pumpkin…
and your favourite flowers…
….(black is Toby’s favourite colour – his dad loves heavy metal music – a challenging colour to find in flowers!)
Rugby in the rhubarb…. ( it is a very soft ball…)
…….and planting your first tree…
hanging up holiday memories
Learning about the bees – and the beetles!
Measuring the rain …
…flowers to match the sky..
and of course, the sun…
I love you dearly Toby. Can’t wait until next Sunday morning. 🙂
Stop Press…..
3rd Prize in the allotment awards this year…. his joy is infectious!
Just lovely!
