Today the longest day began miserable but not raining. Both had had a bad night so decided to enjoy the wood not visited for a while. What a change the dampness and the heavy rain had g=brought down a lot of rotten wood. The paths we had made in May still held though and the wood once inside was welcoming. We decided to head into the centre. So much still really unexplored in terms of location, work and maintenance.
Found two magnificent Oaks surrounded by bramble and bracken so we has our first job to clear a space around them. Then there were two small spindly Beech trees within two feet of one of the Oaks and as much as I hate cutting down trees these two had to b removed both for the Oak an the ground around. They would have grown and caused too much cover and hence little light for wood life to develop well.
A morning well spent. On our return the scaffolding was begging taken down from the house so we can now sit and admire the PV solar panels without distraction!
