Happy New Year from the Woodland Group! A chilly but bright morning after a very wet day yesterday.
It looked like our drainage pipe had sprung a leak over Christmas so we dug down where the hole in the soil was, and followed a tunnel all along the pipe to the join, no leak just a continuing tunnel. So it looks like it was an animal tunnel, a mole?, and the water had just followed an easy route and popped up in the path. Soil all put back and compacted and we will see what happens.

| The joint is ok Glenn brought another load of mulch so we were able to finish giving the new(ish) hedge a nice thick layer.  Richard topped up the bird feeders and we made a start with clearing an area next to the glade so that we can move the picnic table. |

| Hazel catkins So we got a lot done even though there weren't that many of us, although it did pick up as the morning wore on. It's not all work though, part of the joy of the woodland group is getting to meet up with other people and there is usually time for lots of chat, if you want it. |
