Allotment (Sam)

We are at my grandparents house now, yesterday I did homework all day because I hadn't done any yet. I started a project on Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a famous British engineer. It is an interesting project, but I'd rather be outdoors sightseeing.
The previous day we were at my grandparents allotment. An allotment is a plot of land you rent, so you can grow plants on it. My grandparents grow all their fruits and vegetables on it. When we were there we picked about a sack and a half of potatoes, my dad picked two buckets of plums, and we also got some berries, some tomatoes, and some squash. It's really quite a good deal, you get tons of cheap food, you eat well, and you get exercise too.
