Revd Corin Child, Chaplain of Norwich School and a Priest Vicar of Norwich Cathedral, writes in the EDP about the lessons you can learn from owning a allotment and how at harvest time there is much contentment in showing off your hand grown vegetables. 

'Though the fig-tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food... yet i will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Saviour.'
