There was a good turn-out for yesterday's working party, about a dozen people in all, including a couple of newcomers ( welcome!). The rain held off until we were just packing up, so we got quite a lot done. We have re-staked some trees which had blown over, increased the wood chippings on the wettest sections of path, repaired the latch on the hide so the door opens/closes again and almost finished putting a grid base around the noticeboard in the hopes of keeping the nettles at bay in this area, We have also painted the back of the board with blackboard paint so it can be used as a noticeboard too.
Many thanks to all concerned for your hard work ( and for the tea and cakes!).
A Robin and a Dunnock were seen despite the disturbance. The peacocks next door were very interested to see what was going on!
