This ticks so many boxes…

• Recycling our old picnic bench A-frames, which are made out of recycled car tyres (double win)
• Each wooden strip cost less than £3, so total cost is slightly over £30
• We got to play with power-tools
• We had to use our collective engineering skills to make it strong enough
• It will have superb views over Lawford Heath and is surrounded by bird nesting boxes

We need to attach the table top next week and dig the legs into the track so that the seat height is about 45cm from the ground. We also need to stain the wood so it all blends together a bit better.

Some fots of the area where it’s going, plus the snowdrops where the Cawston Bridleway bridge crosses the greenway.

We’re really happy with this. It means people can enjoy a picnic without having to walk too far. The thing weighs a ton, and aesthetically, I don’t think anyone would want to carry it off and stick it in their back garden…

A good morning’s work.

For the railway buffs, here are some pictures of the three railway stations between Rugby and Leamington Spa, when the line was fully operational.

That’s about it for this week. Buy a mug or become a Patron if you want to support us.

Everything helps the cause, and it will send a little shiver of goodness down your spine and a little shiver of appreciation down ours.

Until next time!
