Sheep

Hap, hedging, rainbow, sheep.

A very damp at blustery morning, but with bright moments.

We were; myself, Geoff, Sophie, Tanya, Cath, Philip, Peter, Dave, Matthew, Kayleigh, and Hap. Plus James the landowner.

We planted 195 hawthorn, 30 dog rose, 30 hazel, 30 downy birch, 15 field maple, and 45 sessile oak. In the form of 2 field corners of trees and two lengths of hedge.

Tanyas photo is very representative of the morning, mud, rainbows, and animals.

Another 80s tune, from the chirpy youthful days of levi 501s, flattop haircuts, and vintage everything.

Primary

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.
