We harvested our first potatoes, and Emily received a royal welcome from another allotment neighbour with a gift of sweet peas. Young Jack joined us in our work on Saturday. His parents are on the allotment next to ours and they kindly donated us our wood and topsoil. Des bought along some seeds and has planted them in the hope of cultivating some seedlings for us to plant before winter. Christopher did an excellent job clearing all the unwanted wood from the site and Arthur enjoyed getting closer to nature with the two slow worms we found! We continue to make progress and the team grows bigger each week. Sue will be away until September. In the meantime if anyone wants to water our crops that would be very welcome!
The next allotment date will be the 5 September, when we hope to enter our squash in THE PRODUCE SHOW being held that day!
August’s meeting will be a family and friends lunch with the opportunity to meet others in similar situations whilst enjoying a meal together. The lunch is open to any carer, relative or friend of a person affected by a brain injury.

This month at Richmond we will talk about cooking and share different recipe ideas. It’s often difficult to eat healthy when we don’t have much spare time to prepare food/cook in the week. Please bring a favourite recipe to share and we can chat about how different recipes can be adapted to help understanding of information following a brain injury.
Headway South West London members will be at the allotment on these dates:
25th July – 1 to 4pm
1st August – 1 to 4pm
8th August – 1 to 4pm
Please come along!
