In today's show:

I'm still not able to run but fortunately, have a lot of other fun things to distract me.

My sister and I take my mum to Strasbourg for her 70th birthday treat - that's Strasbourg in France, not Salzberg in Austria - and find few tourists and a lot of great shopping in the city's lovely medieval streets.

Back at home, we watch Running the Sahara, a documentary about three guys who run across Africa from Senegal to Egypt and the Red Sea.

Our friend Mick, the beekeeper, gives us a tour of the Kent House Road Allotments in South London and we come back to our half-finished vegetable patch in the back garden with fresh inspiration.

Photos of the allotments, including South London vineyards, are in the slideshow on my blog at Fusion View
