A drab day at the allotment harvesting leeks and parsnips

We needed a few fresh vegetables, so we headed to the allotment on Sunday afternoon. We hadn’t visited for a couple of weeks due to some poor weather. We’ve had a mixture of snow and rain as well as a week of frosty weather so it was a matter of getting Ruby out for a walk rather than visiting the allotment. Through winter, the allotment gets very little sunshine so even on a reasonably bright winter’s day it’s dull and drab at the plot.
