Allotment

Allotment

We now have one and it wasn’t in terrible condition when we claimed it. It’s right on the edge of the city; there’s a greenhouse, a good-sized shed, and plenty of space for growing fruit and vegetables. There were even two old guys on hand, who immediately introduced themselves and started offering advice. One of them is a ferreter for the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, and the other one immediately started telling stories of poltergeists and writes poetry. This place is not short of characters.
