I’m not sure how I stumbled to this book, a ‘you might also like’ click I think. It’s about a man and his allotment. But not the gardening side particularly, more the allotment mindset and odd happenings, the history of Hampstead Heath, nitrogen cycles and various musings on the state of the environment.

No great story, but it makes you laugh and be fascinated at the same time. Musing type writing is really hard to do but Rand manages it brilliantly and with a cracking humour and nice turn of phrase. Very pleasant light reading.
