Not only that, but because that was the first year the course was run and there were some teething problems with the course handbook etc., all the students have been offered a free place on a one-day course next year.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I found some feathers and a bird ring on the plot. My theory is that a pigeon was eating brassicas, and got itself eaten by a fox.
A friend at work let me know about EURING, who coordinate bird ringing throughout Europe and provide this clearing house for ring recoveries, so I reported it. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Felt contented last night. Went down the allotment straight after work and picked onions, broad beans and blackcurrants to bring home, and ate the first couple of raspberries (just to test!) and some alpine strawberries. Nearly a cornucopia&#8230;
Evening meal included onion tart. I&#8217;m not sure that Nigel Slater&#8217;s recipe even needs cheese when the onions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Monday 23 June, went out with the Friends of the Hermitage of Braid (fohb.org) for my first attempt at balsam bashing. I&#8217;d heard of the invasive nature of the plant but wasn&#8217;t prepared for its ecology, so spent an uncomfortable evening on the side of a hill. Himalayan balsam lives with robust friends: nettles, brambles, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday: Pulled the first onions from the plot. Radar variety of Winter onions, so they&#8217;ve been in the ground over six months. Seems a long time, but it&#8217;s worth it: made white onion soup with chorizo. It&#8217;s so nice to have fresh onions, cooked slowly&#8230;
Today: down the plot again to get more onions, and cooked [...]]]></description>

Wester Craiglockhart Hill is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), sitting 5 km from Edinburgh City Centre. It&#8217;s also about 1 mile from my flat, so I was very happy to [...]]]></description>
