The rain stayed away

November 2023 and it has been wet, but today it looked good. Ruth, Simon and I set to. First off was reducing the lawn yet again and planting some grasses, kindly donated by some friends. The other two are currently planting spring bulbs in the middle of that lawn.

Next up was to re-fix a rail along the top cross path and plant some similarly donated raspberry canes.

Finally, I had already halved the size of one of the benches, but it was a bit high for shorter legs than mine, so I adjusted that and then put some steps in next to it to start another access path through that bit of shrubbery. I put in a willow arch to highlight the entrance at the other end.

Over a couple of sessions before today, Ruth had also been clearing and planting grasses in a section of the hillside below the shelter, which are also looking good.

Time for a sit on the adjusted bench and look at the view.
