The Sun shines at Stonewalls today, so a little walk around the policies to admire late Spring in full flow. The Foxgloves are now starting to flower, and the grass is really starting to grow in the Top Field….
a bit of logging.
That Leylandii really has to go, especially as there is an Elm Type tree behind it. With a judicious use of the loppers and it’s gone….
Moving the roof.
Well this is all the rubbish left by the builders. I thought most of the wood would be reusable in the new tractor shed, but a lot of it had woodworm, so it’s all be assigned to the wildlife wood pile. This is before.

Not so bad when it’s soft, bit some of this stuff is 100% cement and is hard as nails. My hammer drill is going to take a beating methinks. Hopefully this will be the last time we see…
