A Walk In The Woods

Today was a National Trust volunteer day and the venue was Killynether Woods near Newtownards in County Down. We met at 9.30am; there were six of us and the task was to uproot tiny sycamore saplings from a wooded clearing. The weather was OK.

Afterwards, we walked up the hill towards Scrabo Tower and had our packed lunches. Sausage & egg along with a flask of tea was on the menu for me today.

After lunch, we all drove to Island Hill which is between comber and Newtownards. Armed with litter-bags, we walked around the island and, I'm glad to report, there wasn't much litter at all; heck of a wind though.

It's been a dry afternoon at home, so I've taken the opportunity to mow the lawn.
