The Good Life

Another grey, dull, Oberbayern November day. I suspect they have sunshine in the Alps, and are keeping it for themselves. The weather forecast keeps offering sunshine in places, but it doesn't break through here.

I went out for a pre-lunch walk and had a look at what was going on at the allotments (or are they huts). Not much, in fact. A few chickens pecking about nervously (not a good season in the poultry world).

These communities of huts/allotments are dotted all around the countryside on the edge of Ingolstadt. A cross between the allotments we have in Scotland, and the hutting tradition.

Hutting

A place to grow your own fruit and veg, and to come to relax for a barbecue in summer. The way of life appeals to me...
