‘It has taught me to slow down’: the solace of allotments – in pictures

‘My son was given high-risk status and the allotment was the only place he could go aside from the house. It saved my sanity, being able to take him and his siblings there safely. We’ve been taking the dog and a flask (maybe tea, maybe G&T) and had the space to breathe.’ Dubbers Lane allotments, Bristol.
