We Promised and We Delivered…

Posted on October 6, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

We wanted to steer people away from the almost sheer drop, down the side of the Potsford Dam bridge, and instead have a far safer exit point onto Trussell Way. Whilst we had an idea of trying to incorporate the … Continue reading →

Last Summer Workday

Posted on September 19, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

It was the last summer workday in 2019, and also, probably the last time that we will go beyond Potsford Dam. The reason for this is because Sustrans are putting in an off-road cycle path from Potsford Dam to Leamington, … Continue reading →

Seek and you will find…

Posted on August 8, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

The wildflower plant ID app (Seek) that David from Sustrans told us about is really coming into its own. The purists might say that we are cheating and should be scouring books and ID guides, but a lot of what I … Continue reading →

Complementary Colours

Posted on July 11, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

It was like nature had put out the bunting to welcome Reece, Marcus and myself back to Berrybanks, a rather appealing purple and yellow theme, and the butterflies loved it too. An attractive mixture of St. John’s Wort and Tufted … Continue reading →

And finally…

Posted on June 30, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

….it’s starting to come good. We have reds, blues, pinks, yellows, whites, and purples in our mini-meadow, and a fantastic backdrop in the distance. All this colour will be the annuals in the seed-mix with the perennials taking over in … Continue reading →

Furry Friends!!

Posted on June 13, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Our furry friends are back… Or did they ever actually leave? Cannot help but go, “aah, cute…” but when we are getting through a bucket of fat-balls every other week, maybe the novelty wears a bit thin. Great use of … Continue reading →

Weekender

Posted on May 27, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Great turn-out for our weekend workday. Tom, Victoria, Tim, Marcus, Aaron and Paul made it to the steps down to the reservoir and we cracked on with replacing the steps that had come loose – which was most of them, … Continue reading →

It was worth waiting for…

Posted on May 16, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

What was worth waiting for? The banana loaf cake that Marcus had promised last week, but we got rained off, so Reece, Marcus, Aaron and myself had to wait until this week. It was delicious, it was so yummy I … Continue reading →

Visit from The Hulk

Posted on May 2, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Marvel must have sent Hulk because everything has turned green! He left the nettle-pulling for the rest of us superheroes, in the form of Howard, Marcus, Wayne and myself… Thanks – Hulk! We set up camp at bench #2, the … Continue reading →

Tingling Fingers

Posted on April 18, 2019 by Paul - Cawston Greenway

Tingling Fingers – sounds like a real ale brewed at a Warwickshire micro-brewery. Sadly, the nearest any of us lot got to alcohol was the anti-bac hand-wash in the first-aid kit. The coffee came a close second-place though, for Marcus, … Continue reading →
