Filwood Gets Fit at our beautiful allotment today - sunshine and smiles
Many thanks to Kate Cooke for the exercise class - really nice to meet some new people. We made a hearty omelette using eggs, potatoes, onions and courgette from the allotment AND a Greek salad using red onion, tomatoes, herbs and cucumber from the allotment - next year we just need to grow olives and make the feta!
