The plot next door has been turning into a weed patch over the last few weeks, and the plot-holder has been sent out a letter asking hom to get it under control. We were quite glad, as the docks etc are just about to throw their seeds over our newly planted beds. So I've been a bit dismayed the last few days at what's going on in there....
2 days ago, there were 2 teenage lads in there, chopping down comfrey but leaving the docks...
One of them is a bit 'simple' (I'm sorry if that's not PC, but it's true) and could talk the hind legs off several rows of donkeys, the other a cocky little !*&!... After half an hour they got bored, and brought out a radio which could have been heard in the next village. I packed up and went home. Yesterday, they were there again, this time with the mother of the cocky one (who is also the plot-holder's partner), and their 2 toddlers. I stayed long enough to put strings up for the last of my toms in greenhouse, and left as the radio came out again... I stopped by the secretary's plot and asked her to have a word about the radio, which she was about to do anyway.
So, today, I dropped the kids off at school and went straight to lottie, intending to really crack on. Within minutes of getting there, next door had; the waffling boy, the mother, the mother's friend (a childminder) and FIVE whingeing toddlers being given buckets and being told to find worms... Apparently this is going to be a regular thing, as the partner is working too many hours to keep the plot tidy...
Now, call me a miserable cow if you like, but I don't go to the allotment to listen to a crowd of whining toddlers! I've got 3 kids of my own, and if they're being painful down there, I take them home. I certainly don't fill it up with loads of other people's kids!
What am I going to do??!! Am I just being horribly intolerant (probably...
)
Should I just buy a pot of Kalms?!

Yet another thing I can add to my list of why I shall never use one (yes I know they're not all like that 
).
