To wet to work in the pond

5 Volunteers turned out on sunday, and shared lifts to Speke Hall.
Due to heavy rain in the preceeding 24 hours the land arround the pond that we were supposed to be working in was waterlogged / underwater. As the planned task needed the staff to import a considerable quantity of soil from elsewhere on the estate using a tractor it was not possible to proceed.

So we ended up on plan b - cutting and burning more Rhodi - though the fire was a struggle due to the combination of wet conditions and "the wrong sort of Rhodi". There was very thick stuff and very thin stuff but very little normal sized stems - which made the fire more than a little challenging.
