So today Oscar busied himself with a job we've talked about doing for a year, but as is often the case, it takes a twelve-year-old to actually get on with it. Since the neighbouring allotment belongs to my brother-in-law, and the lovely May does the watering for both of us, it made sense to open up a bit of the fence between us so she can get to the water butts which collect rainwater from the multitude of sheds they inherited with the allotment.
 |
| This water butt is entirely useless for collecting water, sitting as it does under a tree, and we've been filling it up with the hose so May had another source to draw on for the tunnel. |
 |
| May emptied the butt... |
 |
| ... while Oscar opened up the fence and repositioned the butt that was already there, so now two butts will fill from the shed roof, hopefully, and they're both positioned conveniently close to the polytunnel. |
