Today's workday at Biddulph had been cancelled mid-week owing to a waterlogged worksite. Thanks to Dave Standen (Cheshire Properties) and Alan Knapper we were able to change the venue to Quarry Bank Garden. Four of us and Marilyn, a Sunday garden volunteer, worked on a bonfire in the top meadow.
We teased apart the nearby "intwigulated" brash pile and then wheelbarrowed the cuttings - branches, leaves, hay, etc - over to the fire. A stiff breeze fanned the flames all day and the matter was quickly consumed. The expected rain failed to materialise and it was pleasing to get something out of the day when on Wednesday it had looked like we might be idle.
