Successful research field trip today, tracking down a compost loo in some allotments. Had to find a kind allotmenteer to let me in. Found the loo which looks very normal, accessible too. #AmWriting #SpeculativeFiction #SpeculativeNonFiction #FieldResearch #Compost #CompostLoo #Allotments

Picture taken through a metal mesh fence, of allotments with trees, sheds, netting, polytunnels. Behind is a large grey building. Above is blue sky with many white and grey clouds.
