With the rain falling steadily only 6 of us turned up at Bishopswood to cut back ivy on the large trees bordering the sports pitches. A second task was trimming back the base of the hedges by the access road to facilitate mowing the grass verge. The clippings were stowed in builder’s sacks which Robert drove to the bonfire in his pick-up.
The sun came out at coffee break (drop scones with mixed fruit jam, and shortbread), so we swapped our sodden gloves for dry ones. It’s handy working at a site where the whole tool store is at your disposal.
