Everybody is a star

Somebody wake Hap up!

This Thursday morning five of us went back to Huck Hill and planted another 80 or so trees. We were: myself, Stephen, Dianne, Dave and Hap. Scones had been freshly made by Ann.

Well done everyone!

This leaves 60 Downy Birch and 30 Alder to be planted at this site (all of which are at the nursery).

This week we were back at Huck Hill. The weather was not kind, and the ground here is still the hardest digging we ever do. Nevertheless we planted around 200 trees. We were: myself, Dave, Philip, Guy, Cath, Steve, Lesley and Robert, Adrian, Jess, Dianne and Lizzie the dog, Ben and Solo the dog, Iain, and Geoff. Cake was sticky ginger.

I guess we still have another 150 trees to plant here, which is either another days team work, or a little hobby for me on my days off!

Heartbroken, in disrepair.

I popped back up to Huck Hill, and dug another 20 holes ready for next Saturday.

Unfortunately, I broke Dave's new toy. Only had 4 days of use, so am filling out the Amazon return form now...

Today were were up at Huck Hill, Marsden. We were: Iain (who's field it is) myself, Philip, Geoff, Hap, Stephen, Peter T., Cath, Dave, Ben and Solo the dog, and Adrian.

To the best of my recollection we planted 52 Hawthorn (out of 60), 90 Downy Birch (out of 105), 13 Oaks (extras from Stephen's garden), 95 Scots Pine (out of 105).

Cake was an adorable coconut and cherry affair, which some people had 3 bits of.

Back here again next week for more punishment! (heavy digging) (so many parentheses today).

This week, a wildly inappropriate (but classic) country tune.
