I'm having a marvellous weekend so far. Yesterday I tidied the shed. It now looks considerably more like this:

I was in and out of there, and on the allotment, for hours. In the morning I took a flask of coffee with me, and stopped off at the corner shop on the way over for some bread rolls and a packet of salt and vinegar crisps.

Two cobs have been claimed, leaving one still that's free to a good home. If you happen to be in the North Manchester area and want a rhubarb plant, it's yours.
