This week the significant events keep rolling in. Remembrance Day is, of course, a memorial day observed since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty.

My grandmother’s brother died in France from war wounds. Samuel Bacon, born 18/10/1897, died 25/8/1918, aged 20.

Nice to pause and remember the past for a little bit.

This week we had to battle with Storm Debi, which brought yet more rain and severe winds. We finished what we started last week, to give us a decent start today.

We also litter-picked from where we were today, to the southern end. It’s looking really good, even if we say so ourselves.

This last chunk took us all of October and November last year. Look at the blog for those months if you think I’m exaggerating. We really got bogged down with it. This year it has been a lot quicker and easier.

We need to invest in decent battery-powered grass strimmers to keep on top of it over the spring and summer. Watch this space!

We ploughed forwards, or rather, northwards and just missed the point where the path naturally widens, by about 15 metres. I will catch us up again ready for next Wednesday. I’m not really sure how much ground we covered but I reckon it was about 150+ metres.

We enjoyed coffee and cookies with our all-terrain mugs at the halfway point of the workday, where we entertained ourselves with light-hearted banter.

Lastly, we have a couple of fungi finds.

One is called Fragrant Funnel and the other looks like something that you would find in the fruit and veg department of a supermarket!

Until next week!
