10 of us met up with Stuart to remove ivy from hedges on Apprentice Lane. Change of plan, a hedge in fields just of the car park, was a more pressing task.
We worked down here 2 years ago removing fencing from one side of the path now the rangers are in the process of laying the hedge on the other side but it is full of ivy which needs removing first. Time is of the essence as no sooner than you know it March will be here and hedge laying has to stop because of nesting birds.
It was forecast to be wet all day and we did start in the rain but by late morning it stopped and didn't start again until we got back to our cars at home time.
We always have people saying hello and in same cases thanking us for what we are doing, but today more people than ever thanked us as they walked past. It really makes you feel that coming out on a grey, miserable, wet day is all worth while.
Thanks to Stuart for a great workday and to my colleagues for their hard work and good company.
