Back at plot again today, only one on site as usual! 
Dug over and added my own compost (which just looked like soil) to two beds. Levelled with rake then used point of dibber to make shallow furrows for planting onion sets into.
I planted another 36 Autumn Champion in one bed and another 36 Radar onion sets in the othe bed. Once planted I wateed the rows which just about buried the sets (hopefully to stop reprobate birds from pulling them out, as this seems to have worked well for the other sets I have planted.)
I came away with a carier bag of yellow & green courgettes fo my Daughter and a carrier bag of cooking apples that wree hanging over my side of the fence!
