New Month – New Mission
Aaron, Marcus, Reece, Dave and myself got back to basics this week at the bird-feeder clearing. We cleared out all the encroaching scrub and plants that had gone over from the summer. We’re a bit late in the year to … Continue reading
The New Steps Had To Go…
I made an error when putting the new steps in, and for reasons way too complicated to go into here, they had to come out. Thanks to Aaron, Marcus and Reece for helping to dismantle them, and a massive sorry … Continue reading
“More Than Just a Path…”
