We managed to get finished before the rain, and more people turned up than expected so a lot of cutting, raking and barrowing of cuttings was done and the woodland paths are all passable again.
It has been the complete opposite of last year, weatherwise, very dry and the main path hasn't grown much at all.
The plum bed was cut and raked and is all ready for the spring flowers to regrow in a few months. It is important to cut and remove the vegetation to reduce the nutrients which is better for wild flowers.

| The verge was also cut and raked to allow more light to the struggling hedge |

| Mowing the paths |
The vegetation around the fruit bushes, gooseberries and redcurrants, was cleared to allow the fruit to be picked.

| Now is the time to be thinning the fruit so you get bigger apples. |
The picnic bench, and the seat at the top of the woodland, were giving a good clean.
