We had to say “goodbye” to Big Will today. But more of that, later…

The greenway is all things to all people – a path for everyone. So I took my family at the weekend and planted some trees. Note the word, “family”.

We bolstered the hedges at various places so wildlife has a hedge-habitat when the trees have grown and integrated with the existing edge.

So… back to that word, “family”.

I don’t really want to be the one explaining to my seven year old daughter what the symbols and words on the bridge mean. So they had to go!

Aaah, that’s better.

We also did a litter-pick from the bird-feeder glade to the underpass, finished our temporary path, to create an alternative to the treacherous “nutcracker” slope down the side of the bridge, and enjoyed a cuppa and cookie using our new mugs.

That’s about it!! Next week we are at the snowdrop bench working northwards staining all the benches, and snipping back anything growing into the path.

Join in, but if you can’t do that, visit the shop and buy a mug, or even better, become a Patron for £2 per month. A little shiver of goodness will go down your spine and a little shiver of appreciation will go down ours.

We start seeding the wildflower clearings after the last frost, so mid to late April. After that, I promise, you are gonna be wowed!!

Until next time!

Paul
