Sunday 8th October 2017 - Work party

 A still, quiet morning and an early start. Having postponed the work party and group social from last weekend because of poor weather, we met at 8.30 this month and had breakfast before work to avoid a clash with the church harvest festival afterwards.

        

Once full up the jobs got done. 100 daffodil bulbs were planted in the plum bed cleared last month.

To encourage even more wildlife three more bird boxes, made by Richard, were put up and holes were drilled in the standing ( almost ) deadwood tree for invertebrates.

The seemingly endless job of digging out brambles, nettles and sycamore seedlings from the willow bed continues but we are keeping on top of it.

The session finished with plum cake made from woodland plums.

There were 3 quince on the tree this year!

The leaves are beginning to change colour now.
