Back to meal hill. We were; myself, Sophie, Arthur, Jon, Tess, Dianne, Jess, Lee, Stephen, Peter, Dave, Philip, Bob, Ben and Geoff.
We planted 300 hawthorn, 50 blackthorn, 5 dog rose, 5 hazel, 5 field maple, and 5 crab apple.
Sophie provided an absolutely outstanding "rocky road" type cake at break time.
Song suggested by extended conversation at break time. The poster for this song replaced the famous Athena tennis bum poster on my teenage bedsit wall.
Christmas eve and we were at Meal hill lane again. Weather was kind, not cold, and sunny! We got plenty done and still reached the pub around opening time.

We were: Cath, Kayleigh, Sophie, Tanya, Geoff, Dave, Bob, Steve, Steven, Jon, Jack, and myself.
Cold, but dry weather, some light snow on the ground.
Slightly late finish, but we emptied our tree bags this week, no leftovers. Top work!

Back at Meal Hill. We were: myself, Philip, Geoff, Dave, Hap, Michael, Kay, Jess, Jon, Tess, and Peter.
This week we planted 275 hawthorn, 125 blackthorn, 10 hazel, 10 dog rose, 10 field maple, 10 crab apple.
The terrain is difficult, with lots of stones having to be dug out prior to planting. Which this means its taking longer than planned.

| Slight issue with hundreds of sheep having been put in the field where the trees were healed in. A small electric fence fixed that (hopefully). |
