rent

here is a (dark, wintery) copy of the rent that is due on our allotment:

thirty one pounds and fifty pence, about fifty dollars, m and i were chatting about how this is probably the value of our artichokes alone, certainly a deal, i think in all we have spent at most £150 ($225--including this rent) on our plot this year, such a deal, and with zero, or very few food miles, unlike some of our recent purchases.
