En la Nochebuena

Cold, sleety and dark, not very nochebuena.

 Back to Meal Hill Lane for more hedgerow.

We were; myself, Geoff, Stephen, Tanya, Jess, Lee, Philip, Peter, Sophie, and Michael.

We planted 150 hawthorn, 50 blackthorn, 5 hazel, 5 dog rose, 5 field maple and 5 crab apple.

No cake, but Sophie, Stephen and Tanya bought diverse biscuits.

Winter Wonderland

Any Saturday it doesn't rain is a Wonderland as far as I'm concerned

This week we planted 375 hawthorn, 100 blackthorn - which amounts to about 70m of hedge.

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!

Kayleigh, me and Bob in the distance.

That was the worst Christmas ever!

Stephen, and Kay.

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).

Be thankful

I'm down there in the fog, apparently.

Dave and I planted all Saturday's leftover plants (nearly 200 of them). It was foggy where we were, but only yards p the lane it was sunny, as per pic.

Totals planted so far 450 Hawthorn, 150 blackthorn, 15 each of Hazel, Dog Rose, Crab apple and Field Maple.
