A short evening spell at the field on Thursday night after 2 weeks away with work.
Someone had dumped a load of hedge clippings in the middle of the footpath / access track, so an hour spent recovering and converting them for compost / mulch (fly-tipping really annoys me).
The overpainting of the graffiti on the bypass underpass is still refreshingly clear after a month.
Noticeable autumnal changes to most of the orchard and hedgerow trees, apart from new leaf growth still apparent on a couple of the younger mulberry trees and the heartnut.
Just about finished putting 1.5 m3 of water onto the planted trees when a monsoon fell.
Back at home a few trees arrived in the post, including a young black walnut.
A brief excursion to Sheffield for a night of live (and lively) Goth music, then an overnight cross-country drive by the light of half a moon to Salisbury - scenic still despite semi-darkness.
A day now at Cranborne Chase Wood Fair, then Sunday is an orchard open day at Blackmoor Nurseries, followed by more trees to pick up for the orchard on Monday...
