January 2024

 At the end of December and beginning of January,  we had a lot of rain and another named storm. The paths had running water and conditions really weren't suitable so the work party was cancelled.

During the storm on 2nd January a tree fell across the road from a neighbouring property. The road was cleared the next morning but this is how it remains blocking the ditch.

Not much damage in the woodland just this branch came down.

Icy leaves on the hazel arch.

We didn't have a work party in November, as is usual after the Halloween event. 

At the December work party, we raked leaves in the village hall garden, mostly to pick up the walnut leaves which if left on the ground would inhibit the growth of the grass. These were added to the compost heaps in the garden.

                      The main path - before.

And after raking. It looks worse but hopefully it will help the grass to grow.

A new dog bin has been installed by the Parish Council at the entrance to the wood.

Halloween 2023

 Despite the recent flooding of the village, we carried on with the annual pumpkin trail and gathering round the firepit in the woodland. Thanks to everyone who helped and came to the event. Here are some photos by Flossie and a few by me. 

There are more but I haven't managed to upload them. This part of the reason this is so late.
