Because it's Mothers Day I always put flowers on my Mams and my wifes grave. My children live miles away so at least Helen gets a few flowers.
The allotments are very close to the graveyard so I always visit both each time I go.
I was dismayed to find my fence had blown over again with the wind. On closer inspection all of the posts are rotten and the fence itself is rotten along the bottom. I think the fence itself was originally pallet wood so would be prone to rot.
Do I need a fence there I ask myself? I would prefer to just take the fence out completely as it serves no discernable purpose and leave it open. Whether the Council would be happy with that, I don't know? It would cost a fortune for me to replace the fence and the Council have been replacing some internal fences before letting plots. They are welcome to replace the fence if they so wish, but I won't replace it!
The weather will need to warm up and bit and the wind decrease before I set about it though. In the mean time I will contact the Council with my plan!
