Log splitting and other tasks at Formby on Sunday 28th April 2024

Today seven of us had a ride out to the seaside where we met up with eleven of our Merseyside colleagues whose original worksite had been cancelled.

Ranger Chris had a number of jobs he needed doing:

1. Build a work bench

2. Cut and split tree trunks

3. Bag up dried logs (after testing moisture content) and move bagged logs to storage shed

4. Re-stack empty shelves with logs cut and split today

5. A bit of litter picking on the beach


I forgot one important task which was carried out by Jenny and Denise.  They prepared everything for our pizzas for lunch.  Chris and his colleagues had built a pizza oven and last time we were there they promised us pizzas if they got the oven going, so we went armed with toppings and dough to add to what Chris had very kindly supplied.


It was interesting to see the shelving that we had helped to make now in use.  Also, I haven't seen a log splitter before that cut the logs prior to splitting them.

It was nice to meet up with our Merseyside friends again and we look forward to working with them again soon.

Thank you to my colleagues for their hard work and a big thank you to Chris for such a varied workday but especially for providing us with pizzas.

Christine
