Fortune Returns

New Town

Tuesday 4 July 2017

At one stage we had a run of good fortune with bad weather only arriving after our work had finished and we back at the cars.  Today this luck returned and rain only started an hour afterwards.  The morning had been sunny followed later by a bit of cloud making for quite pleasant conditions for working.

As sometimes happens, what was thought to be a short job turned out to be much bigger.  The cause was discovering a patch of Spanish heath, in fact a nursery of the nasty stuff.  It took a while but eventually the whole of the site was cleared. It was also noticed that some bushes seemed to have been browsed prior to the current year growth.

 The area was previously cleared in July 2015.
