It turned out such a lovely day: very mild, sunny intervals and dry. We met, as usual, at the warden's office in the woods at Minnowburn and had coffee. There were five of us today, all regulars.
Craig had about two hundred saplings for us to plant in a sloping field adjacent to the Rose Garden. There was a mixture of native oak, beech and witch-hazel, each of us taking a bundle and a spade.
It took us about five hours to plant them all and we had our packed lunches at the Rose Garden.
I managed to fill a sackful of logs to take home too. It was a great day which we thoroughly enjoyed; and I've a little restorative beside me as I write this blog.
