Let's get the job finished!!
Having left off laying the Glasshouses verge hedge before Christmas, the NCVs were back to complete the job. After all, it doesn't do to leave a hedge two thirds laid, does it?
And here they all are, laying as if their lives depended on it (not that they did). The finishing line was in sight. However - snow was forecast!!
Given the forecast, there
was an excellent turn out.
What's everyone looking at?
What a sight for sore eyes.
Everyone was thinking -
"I'm not going to do that bit!"
Some went off to the section at the
far end that was already prepared.
However, other brave souls started
to prepare that horrible bit.
It certainly seemed that the
sun shone on the righteous.
Anita did some high wire balancing practice,
ready for her performance
in the big top this evening.
as the morning drew on.
Everyone enjoyed the minature 'Fat Rascals'
and jam tarts that Liz had made.
Thanks Liz!!
There was some extremely high
level pruning required in places.
And all the brash got carried off to here...
...where Anita and Ros got busy dead hedging.
By close of play they had constructed
a hedge 'par excellence'!
As the snow got heavier so it was decided
that the job couldn't be finished.
Instead, the rails were added to
all the completed sections.
There you go - that should help keep
it all intact if the wind gets up.
Pity we couldn't get around to the final
bit. Something to savour next time.
Finally - many thanks to Jan who has taken a good deal of time to make this bespoke storage unit for the NCVs' billhooks and small axes. Thanks Jan - well done!!
