The hedgerow tree work is done for now, including re-pollarding. Hedges and fencing to continue with next month.
The final handful of fruit trees to go in for this year, the unusual varieties I picked up earlier this month.
I've set the tent up (with integral woodburning stove), for a weekend at the field finishing off a few tasks...
A few interesting chats with neighbours and locals over the last couple of weeks - and a couple of random encounters with couples in cars getting a bit blatant in broad daylight with activities that are best left for indoors now the weather is getting colder!
I guess anti-social and illegal activities can be as much of a problem in a rural setting as in built up areas.
One night had particularly clear skies, so a mate with an iPad assisted with some celestial navigation.
Jupiter is particularly bright and there have been a few shooting stars.
All with the background sounds of owls and other creatures.
Each morning there are the remains of chewed corn-cobs across the grass - I thought maybe from a fox, but apparently badgers really like them.
In the daytime the buzzards are quite noticeable swirling high up.
