We are at a crossroads. There are the people who love nature and want to encourage it, and there are the people who want a path and want to encourage that.

Firstly, there has to be a balance of the two. We all have to compromise a bit and give a little.

Secondly, we as a group are all rank amateurs, Mick excluded of course. We are learning as we are going along and really don’t have a clue other than when we can cut back and when we cannot. But everything grows back so we cannot surely do too much damage.

The day at Berrybanks was a good one.

Plenty going on.

And a quick look up and down…

We will keep pushing the path angle, because that is what this is all about. We want to consider the wildlife and do our best to create habitat for it. I guess it is just finding a balance.
