The Adorable Plot







You will not be surprised to hear I love this book.
Fascinating, charming, packed with character.
Beautifully observed paintings and writings about garden allotments.

  1. If you got a goat Mr. P. wouldn't have to snip snip. AND you'd have manure with a certain degree (!!!) of chaos. "Yes, the house is for sale but you have to take the goat!"

  3. We had two chickens once, they ate every flowering or sculptural plant and left behind the ugly ones!

  4. We tethered our two goats to create radial patterns (a la crop circles) on the hillside facing the road. Efficient clearing, artistically and entertaining for the traffic. I remember a particularly bad rooster in the barn. The peacock who ate our strawberries. I'm sticking with greyhounds!

  6. David - I think you should do a blog post with pictures of your animals over the years. I would love to see your two goats.

    Hi Annamaria, welcome to the my painted version of the south coast of England. Although there are a lot of hound paintings this month.

    The book is a 'must have', available from all good local bookstores in the UK and Amazon!
