Shed design revision P - Sunday afternoon sketching. This time hunkered down under a low pitched green roof, behind a stubby wall with a bench and pergola. Exploring steps carved into the garden to get the building below where it could cause harm to neighbours

Allotment 2023 🌱
Less manpower this year, many successes and many fails. Another 12 months of learning how little you know!
Wins: mini cucumbers, chilli sauces, purple sprouting broccoli, cat, kale again, beans, patty pans, aubergines, quadrupled our blueberry bushes, got a 6ft apple tree for £30
Fails: built a poly tunnel & lost the roof after a month, built a broccoli net which collapsed just before harvest, blighted tomatoes (again), SLUGS
Looking forward to next year, having nerdily planned all the veggies I want to grow already. Anyone want to help? 🧑🌾
2023 Music 🎶✨
A bittersweet year, I lost my dear friend James Murdock who taught me how to play drums and be awesome in all aspects of life. But I also played music with an amazing number and variety of incredible musicians which has been a privilege. Here's a few snippets.. and apologies if I have forgotten anyone!
1-3: my band @_momajoja - 40-50 gigs this year in Harrow and all over London. Love you guys to bits ❤️ @crawfordsimmonds@morganfaye_b@onyourmarksgetsetjosh
4: @elis.brother and @eliparkinson heartwarming harmonies. These guys are just getting started.
5: @csjlla with @schaellaeursli on bass. Hypnotic.
6: @charlesmusicphilo just a great guy with a boatload of talent. We never practice! #wingit
7: @therhythmslingers kindly let me hop up and play percussion and even gave me a Cajon solo in tribute to the epic James Murdock. A brilliant pair
8: just @_momajoja again looking fly AF
And there's more... I don't have vids with you guys but you are also amazing: @onemastat@wpearscooper@little_eddie_scott@le.pacman . And thanks to @thecastleharrow@trinitybarharrow@oddfellowsarmspinner for providing a platform for local musicians. Special thanks to Instagram for cropping all these videos into oblivion.
Very cool bloc @harrowall - shouldery V5 with lots of acrobatics 🤸
For the pedants: I did the start properly but cropped it out cos I faffed around a lot and it looked really boring.
