Wed 9th Oct 2019 - Flowers Brook, Ventnor. GG # 805.

Terry's Photographs.




The pre-session brief...


How it looked on our arrival.




Getting to work on the cascade.





Working along the banks of the stream.



The tea break chat.


It helps if you are half mountain goat when at GG sessions 😁




How it looked as we left... a big improvement!




This week's nature shot - a European Cross Spider.


For most of the GGmers attending this week, it was a case of going "all the way to Ventnor" - why does it seem so distant..? Flowers Brook has become one of our Top Ten favourite sites to work at, it has that certain charm and tranquility about it and beautiful sea views. After a quick brief to inform us of the tasks that required our attention it was straight into the work. Most of the effort was around the stream and pond area and the water cascade - this involved cutting back some serious summer growth to a manageable level. A quick glance at the first and last photographs above will show how much was actually achieved.... well done all..! We did have a short rain shower during the morning but the heavy rain from the night before held off until later in the day. It was nice to see new faces in the crowd today, I hope that you enjoyed your first GG session and that we will be seeing you again soon.

Many thanks to Terry for the photographs this week.
