Somebody's watching me

Jess sees through us.

A day of a few parts. Geoff, Stephen, Dave, Hap, Kayleigh, Jess, Tanya and Peter were at the nursery cross cutting and splitting logs.

I met up with Philip and Duncan to go visit a prospective new site.

Then I went up to Scammonden to do a soil depth survey for a planned planting area (required by our patrons, so that they can safely rule out the presence of deep peat). 

Peter and Geoff admire their own work.

Occasional rain

A small crew chopped up wood for wood fuel this morning at the nursery: Dave split some of the big stuff with the hydraulic splitter, Peter, Geoff and Jess chopped logs and Michael stacked them in the wood store. The logs will be seasoned and ready for sale in six months or so. The dense and sinewy cherry proved especially difficult to split and chop, but we three-quarters filled an empty bay by the end. It rained steadily most of the morning but was not unpleasant, though our departure time coincided with some heavier stuff, so was prescient.

Peligro

 Just a crew of three this morning, sawing, splitting and stacking logs.

Myself, Hap and Dave.

Just another day

Kayleigh, Julia, Jess, Dianne, and Tanya.

Just another day, nothing of note here, just a mass of women in hi-vis with chainsaws let loose on a golf course. No golfers were harmed.

We were; Dave, Kayleigh, Julia, Tanya, Philip, Jess, Dianne, Stephen, Hap, Baljit, and Paul. Plus Mick and his son with their trailer.

Back at the nursery myself, Geoff and Peter were receiving the logs, and splitting and stacking.


Legal disclaimer, only the qualified and insured were actually using chainsaws.
