So this has been a really long time coming, and for that I apologise. Post riots the non-organisation #riotcleanup, which had been started by everyone (yes you too) was at a crossroads: what next?

So we exchanged details and not long after there we all were, spreading a pile of steaming stuff all over Dot and John’s lovely allotment. See how it went for yourself:
