Are You The Army…?

Posted on October 18, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Seriously, this was a question a member of the public asked us a while back. We do normally wear green T-shirts and camouflage patterned trousers, but mine are from Sainsbury’s (that’s a huge supermarket chain for my international followers) and … Continue reading →

World Mental Health Day

Posted on October 9, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

We had World Mental Health Day this week. It was actually yesterday (Tuesday 10th October). Ignore the posting date. That was when I started to thrash out this post as a draft. The blog always comes out on a Wednesday … Continue reading →

The Harvest Moon

Posted on September 27, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Our new circular picnic bench survived the pagan rituals of the autumn equinox over the last weekend, so we marched ahead and put in the second bench on this northern part of the path. This week we witness the Harvest … Continue reading →

Autumn Equinox

Posted on September 20, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

As we hurtle non-stop towards autumn, we can reflect back on the crazy summer of floods, followed by heat-waves, and then more floods and what we thought was going to be a rather pleasant Indian Summer. That was, of course, … Continue reading →

Posted on September 13, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Thanks to Warwickshire County Council, and Rugby Borough Council, we won a grant for two picnic benches towards the northern end of the path. This means that our end-users on this part of the path can enjoy the same benefits … Continue reading →

Just Call Me Bill Gates

Posted on September 6, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Today was all about windows, windows and windows. I think we’re on Version 11. Our Hawthorn Trail needs as much light coming in as possible. Nothing will grow without sunlight, well maybe mushrooms, but not a lot else. We also … Continue reading →

The End Of The Bird-Nesting Season

Posted on August 30, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

This just so happens to be the last easy workday, before all hell breaks loose, and the marathon, that quickly turns to a manic 100 metre sprint starts. Welcome to the cutting-back season. This week we took our trusty mattocks … Continue reading →

All About Africa

Posted on August 23, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Two Weeks To Go…

Posted on August 16, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Yep, two more weeks of the Bird Nesting Season. Two more weeks of twiddling our thumbs doing not a lot. Just snipping back bramble runners that try and invade the open space that is the path, fixing benches and picking … Continue reading →

Aerial View of the Greenway

Posted on August 3, 2023 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

I’ve been on holiday so there was no normal Wednesday morning workday this week. We went to Lanzarote and enjoyed a week of wall-to-wall sunshine. It was divine. We hired bikes to get about so the kids were not constantly … Continue reading →
