We had the daunting task of clearing a large patch of nettles behind the bonfire site at Nuffield Place today, but many willing hands helped pull them out by the end of the session. Our first task had been to remove ragwort from the field at the entrance. Luckily the earth was still soft from recent rains, and it was a pleasure to be surrounded by all sorts of wild flowers and butterflies including gatekeepers and marbled whites.
