We've pretty much left the allotment alone. It's been too cold and damp to do much, but today it was bright and clear, although still a bit cold. So bundled up warm I decided that it was well past the time that the grape vine had a bit of "short back and sides".
Only the main branches should be kept, the rest of last years growth needs to be removed so that it should start sprouting again around May time. So after a short while with the secateurs it looked much better.
Of course now it exposes the fact that the Shed itself is in need of a little bit of TLC. But I guess that'll have to wait until things start getting a little warmer... and I can buy some more wood preservative.
