The Allotment Interview
Monday, February 23rd, 2009I recently caught up with Scarlett, our contact at Branch Hill allotments, for a quick one-to-one about what the place means to her. It’d be lovely to say that no stone was left unturned, but I fear I would be overselling the rough-and-ready charms of what you are about to hear. So here -- complete with me inadvertently planting my size 11s on the new-dug earth, and January winds howling into the condenser mic of my dictaphone -- is The Allotment Interview.
