A little bit of an American flavour to the workday today with pretzels – or so I thought… It seems pretzels originated from Germany and were invented by monks!!

American or European, I don’t think anyone would be impressed with my anaemic looking coffee!! It was wet and warm so it did the job!!

Just me on the Potford Dam glade, clearing out the spent wildflowers and starting to prep for next year.

Cutting everything back to ground level now that all the seeds have dropped, and making a habitat pile on the other side of the path. Loads of bramble that we will let re-grow and then grub out the roots.

The glade needs to be bigger. We are getting a lot of perennial wildflowers growing in it so it is doing exactly what it is supposed to. This is year four since creation.

I managed to strim around two of the circular picnic benches before I ran out of charge.

It just makes it more pleasant to sit at the benches.

Mike cut back and litter-picked from Cawston Bridleway northwards.

We have had the quadrant benches replaced and an exciting mural painted on the Cawston Bridleway bridge.

I am not massively sure about the bench top left. It’s driving my OCD into overdrive!! Whoever painted the mural please feel free to do the other side, and I litter picked the path as well as Mike.

Well that’s it for this week. Patron us a couple of quid a month if you like the path and want to support us, come along and help (great for mental health and making friends). We will be starting up weekenders again soon.

Until next week!
