On a rather damp morning, eleven hardy souls turned up to clear brambles and the tops of felled trees at Green Broom Wood. The footpath and the area we were working in were both extremely wet and rather slippery but the bluebells were looking wonderful and the birds were singing well to entertain us, even the sun thought about coming out. It was too wet underfoot for a bonfire so we did what Green Gymmers do best and made large stacks of logs and brush, and other piles of brambles. I hadn’t been to this site for about a year and what a difference Green Gym have made in that time by getting much further into the wood with all the clearance.
We celebrated Jill Kendall’s 80th birthday. She had made us a delicious fruitcake, all iced and decorated with silver balls, despite saying that she is unable to bake cakes!
