I’m assured there was some actual new hedging!
But this pile of bits left over at least kept our hardy band warm in the wet & cold on Saturday……along with leader Dave’s Kelly kettle and multiple hot drinks!
As Dave explains: ….Our first day of hedgelaying this season and the fourth season on this particular hedge. The worst was left to last with a very overgrown section of blackthorn to be tackled.
Saturday was spent cutting and clearing back to enable a start to the actual laying next session (28th December). This allowed us to have a large fire which was a godsend – it started raining at 10.00 and carried on right through to 3.00pm!
Better luck or weather next time, Dave!! (Ed)
