24th June 2023 - Steps and Council Clearance

Thought for the day :"All my family were good musicians - except for uncle Arthur who was struck by lightning but wasn't a good conductor "


Decisions after a drop of rain for a few days and seeing the ground getting a little soggy again and in particular the slope down to the Island could be a problem if we get some water over the weekend 
so took the plunge and started the steps onto the ground area... Chose the hottest day of the year I reckon and was completely dripping within a short period of time .. May have slightly overdone it !

Also looked at the spring and the ditch Susie had dug last year to let some water through - and decided to use a standard drain pipe rather than a lad drain - as I really did not want to get another ton of gravel before visitors and event... - so du a trench out ready for a pipe.




In other news - the donkey trail is getting so bad that I decided to report it to the Council.
Have strimmed most of the walkway and taken the clippers to what I can - but it requires the big machinery to clear a proper walway through the woods..




A  long day today - a little tired 

Cheers
