Afflecks Palace

Saturday saw the Pie Tribe head to Manchester for a birthday treat for Pie Daughter No 1. The destination was Afflecks Palace in Manchester. A departmental store /emporium with a variety of shops dedicated to fashion (of a kind!).

A great time was had, particularly by the female contingent of the Pie Tribe. The excitement over this trip was too much for some members of the Pie Tribe who fell asleep en route!!!

So much time was spent inside that there was not much time to visit anywhere else. Birthday girl enjoyed herself enormously and Princess Pie even managed to buy some bright pink eye shadow, PINK Power!!

Archaeological Dig - Plot 109a

Moving on from being an archaeological dig, planting has begun on Plot 109a.

So far we have planted Potatoes, Onions, Lettuce x2, Chives, Spring Onion, Radishes, Garlic, French Bean and Turnips. Much help, advice, equipment and plants has been generously provided by fellow Allotment Holders.

Many thanks must go to fellow brick diggers Mrs Pieman, Pink Power (pictured below), Frankie Piester-in-Law and Pie Daughter No 1. Half the plot is currently devoted to cultivation and the other half is still in use by the ever growing Triffid population.

Bricks and various other debris is still being unearthed along with plastic sheeting left buried by a previous incumbent. The ongoing battle with couch grass and bindweed continues. Does anyone have a petrol strimmer the Pieman can massacre some jungle undergrowth with?

Here Comes The Summer

It's official the summer has arrived the Pieman has been spotted wearing his shorts in public.

To celebrate sunshine and hard work food was eaten outside for the first time this year with various visitors including Travis, Dave Rave, Frankie and the Funky Gibbon in attendance.
