There was a heavy shower in the early hours of the morning and we were all in wellies but generally it has been dry and the grass hasn't grown at all. I did get the mower out to cut the right hand side of the main path as the red campion has all seeded now and there are a few spring flowers in there which needs some light.

The apple trees that were planted when we took on the woodland are producing more fruit now. This is a Suffolk Pink.

We completely missed picking the plums this year, they were ready in between work parties and there weren't very many anyway. The path up to the Baldwin apple tree was mown and trimmed back but it is still a bit nettly.
Aside from the regular maintenance tasks there is also the social aspect to the group and some of us stayed to have coffee and homemade muffins and a chat. Thank-you Flossie for the banana muffins!
