Just another day
Back at Wilberlee this morning, working on two lengths of hedging.
We were in two groups; myself, Dianne, Philip, Ben, Kayleigh, Steve, Jess, and Jim - and down the road a bit were Philip, Geoff, Dave, Hap and Michael.
One team planted 225 hawthorn, 75 blackthorn and 5 each of crab apple, hazel, field maple and dog rose.
The other planted 225 hawthorn, 50 blackthorn, and 10 each of crab apple, hazel, field maple and dog rose.
Lots of high vis was worn due to working next to a relatively busy lane.
Hap's cake was outstanding slabs of marbled chocolate sponge.
PS One stretch needs approx another 50 hawthorn stuck in there. Which could be done solo one weekday?
