The Play Area

Went to the allotment today, it was bright and sunny so we thought we would make the most of the fine weather. We had been loaned a flat bed truck so decided to collect the pallets and bricks that I had stored at Jo's.
After we had unloaded all the bricks Pete thought he would build a dry wall in the shady corner to dump the stone and other junk behind. Whilst we were busy with the wall Thomas and Mum started to move the pile of wood chippings from the front of the greenhouse. This meant loading up the wheelbarrow and pushing it down the lane to the car park, where there is mulch for the allotment holders to use. After about ten barrow loads I bumped into another allotment holder who needed mulch, so he brought his trailer round and we loaded that up too. Still left with a considerable amount of chippings I thought I would make a play area for Thomas. I cleared away some rotten carpet from the shady corner and we spread the remaining bark chippings next to Pete’s wall. Hopefully next time we go I can put up Thomas’s old swing on the chippings, and I will remember to take the camera.
