Today we thought we might try and fix our leaky plumbing. It was not to be, so we cracked open the coffee and enjoyed the pick-me-up juice in our all-terrain mugs…

We think the issue with the plumbing is that the hole is simply too small, when it’s literally bucketing down cats and dogs.

As all three of us stood there staring vacantly at the muddy culvert, it dawned on us that the only way to see what is really happening, is for one of us to be down there when the April monsoon starts. That blithering idiot will probably be me, so I better get some wellies.

After our caffeine-induced wake-up shot, we litter-picked all the way to the end, or is it the start. I get so confused with my left and right, up and down, start and end… But we pulled out two bags of grot (plus one from last week) and snipped back any encroaching vegetation.

It’s all looking rather good down this end. A bit more of a woody feel to it, I think.

We have something brewing to hopefully add to this area. Keep your eyes peeled…

You may have noticed my other projects in the thingy on the right. Blackwood Avenue Spinney is a rather lovely nature walk right in the middle of urbanisation, Dunchurch Nature Trail connects with Cawston Greenway and has some super views and coffee shops (Solstice), Dunchurch Pantry is something that I am so proud of, and the Autism Adventure Workshops is the next thing that I really want to turn my attention to and get it moving again. We had such fun with it literally the week before COVID hit and the lockdowns started…

Check them out, you might find something that piques your interest and encourages you to get involved.

That’s about it from us lot.

Until next time!
