Got to be some changes made

Stayed at the nursery this week. To tidy up and rediscover some parts of the nursery that haven't been seen for a while due to extensive under/overgrowth.There were some stupidly overgrown blackcurrant bushes (10cm diameter trunks!) and decent apple trees lost amongst the wilderness. 

We were; myself, Dave, Ben, Michael, Dianne and Jess.

I'd say there there is plenty more to be done. Including possible chainsaw work.

Cellphone's dead

 Up to Wholestone moor for more, stake and guard removal. We were; Ben, myself, Geoff, Dave, Philip, Steve and Cath.

Geoff gave me a Nokia phone found in the undergrowth up Wessenden. I charged it up. Surprisingly it had no sim card, no sd card, and not security set. I was able to update it and get it running, but the battery doesn't hold charge for long. New battery would be easy enough to get. Its a pretty basic Android phone, but it works. So not dead.
