Hard Slog at the Allotment
Sometimes, there is just so much hard work on the allotment....
You have to get the entire family to help on occasion.
I mean, quality testing on the strawberries - you wouldn't believe how many you need to sample to be sure the flavour is just right...
And the sheer slog of walking all the way from the kitchen to the back garden to pick raspberries. I mean, there's so many of the darn things.
And the extra bill for all the cream!
Shocking.
Not to mention the mountain of crisp, mangetout peas that have to be dealt with. Admittedly, I can't complain that I have to shell them, but I'm sure I'll think of something to complain about if I really work at it.
I know my friends. You're a truly selfless group of people, and I'm sure you'd help out if you could, but I think we can just about manage the struggle on our own...
