Started on the new (extremely unloved and overgrown) allotment
Sat 08:00, get petrol strimmer

09:20 – start strimming, rake, discover lots more bricks, more strimming, raking, discover more bricks and paving slabs, more strimming
11:47 – finished, return strimmer best £14.97 I’ve spent for a long time
Sun 08:00 first dump trip – Berlingo totally full
08:30 – lots more raking, digging up platic, mesh, bricks, slabs, catalogues, hedge trimming – bagging it all up
