We Love Visitors

We love having visitors at magic plot number 7. Nature lovers, magic lovers and lovers of life are always welcome.Sara and Rob brought Lucas along for a little bit of gardening in the September sunshine. It was his first trip to my plot and he enjoyed helping with the work, showed particular skill digging and filling up his bucket with soil, and although he found the wheelbarrow a bit too large and tricky to handle, he did an excellent job assisting me with the composting too.


It was a real treat that my friend Kate Magic came up from Brighton for a visit with her three fantastic boys. Kate and I have been online friends for about a year but this was our first meeting in person, and what better place to entertain the magic one but on the magic plot!

I’ve been taking home an enormous quantity of raspberries every 2 or 3 days,so I had made a point of leaving plenty on the bushes for Kate’s boys to enjoy. They moved fast and within minutes all ripe berries had been consumed and thoroughly enjoyed.

Reuben, Ethan and Zachary impressed me enormously. Well-behaved, bright, intelligent and funny, without a doubt they are the most well-balanced children I have ever met, just living in the vibe of life and having a marvellous time. It’s unsurprising really for they have a wonderful mother.

Kate is a raw fooder, as are her children, and a pioneer of raw eating. A well-respected author, she has written several books on the subject. She brought me some of her Raw Living raw chocolate bars, Hi Lovers and Be The Change, so delicious I may never eat regular chocolate again!

She also posts a regular light-hearted pictorial blog, A Good Look, which is always worth a look.

The raspberries and beans have been fabulous this year and munching on them at the plot always reminds me that eating raw is a good idea. I've never managed it on a big scale (love potatoes too much) but every little bit helps and no point being hard on yourself. That's why it's so great to meet inspiring people though :o)

I'm the same Nic, I just LOVE potatoes too much to ever give them up. But as you say, there's no point being hard on yourself, and as allotmenteers we probably eat far better than the bulk of the population anyway!
