A hot weekend


Your regular correspondent having bunked off for this working party, it falls to Deputy Blogger-in-Chief Julie to provide the words and pictures. Long may it continue!

Two hot sessions on the common...though it could be said that the cutting was done at snails pace on Saturday's preparation session. This little hitch hiker was found catching a ride back to the container!


But the winch site was cleared ready for action on the Sunday..though it took a bit of effort to remove an old tree stump!


The area soon looked ship-shape... though my OCD got a bit out of hand to the extent that John offered me a pair of nail scissors to finish the job!


On Sunday only eleven mad fools braved the heat...it was hot even at 9 a.m.! The forecast did not say this I am sure!


But we all bravely got stuck in to clearing the reed on the fen in the central area.


At half time most of us opted for double refreshments....water followed by tea/coffee. People also were glad to sit in the shade....biting bugs or not!


 Though some found other much more comfortable spots to rest in....


 Anyway, eventually it was back into the heat again! With a little discussion on where best to go!


But a sterling effort by the overheated few meant we made great progress..
