With the second lot of "The Beast from the East" departed and the snow melted, our session this week was held in almost perfect weather conditions. It was warm enough to be working without a coat, some sun and light winds - plus a job list as long as your arm - all in all very pleasant. Martin soon had everyone working away at the tasks he had assigned them, which you will see from the photographs, was spread across the whole of the site. One thing is very certain, it doesn't matter how many times GG visits this venue, there will ALWAYS be plenty for us to be getting on with! Jobs tackled this time around included emptying out the container to construct tool storage, fitting more of the car park matting, sorting the compost bins out, fitting bat boxes, trimming back undergrowth plus numerous other tasks... phew we were busy! Tea break was held up in the picnic area and we were treated to some wonderful home made cake (many thanks to Martin's good lady!) Looking around this little wild life oasis makes you realise just how much has been achieved by everyone considering that it resembled an overgrown wilderness when we first visited just a couple of years ago.
Many thanks to Terry and Mark for taking the (numerous!) photographs this week.
