Musings on a diversion.

Only just got to work now.
De-railed freight train at Broxbourne, so had to swap at Harlow, go to Cambridge and then down to Kings Cross.
Why are so many allotment sites next to railway lines?
Must have gone past half a dozen or more, much variety, but all looked to have good occupancy rates.
The two I normally pass each day are as chalk and cheese.
Cheshunt where a fenced & hedged set of small looking plots sit across a bridleway from a set of larger plots that fade out halfway (or less) down the site into long coarse grass with a couple of horse troughs in it. One brave sould has just taken on a full ten rod at the start of the grass and cleared it.
Alma Road site in Enfield which seems fully occupied, but with a high number of "structures".
