Tried to work yesterday. My good self and 9 offenders, were supposed to clear brush,brambles and litter from an ancient trackway. We were soaked to the skin within half an hour and had to give up by midday. You can just make out a small ammount of water at the bottom of the valleyA glimmer of hope ? Img_0010

Returned today, warm and sunny all day. This is the first time I've seen the sun since Christmas. Notice how the valley has filled up.A glimmer of hope ? Img_0011

Great find. Great when your work joins up with your hobby. Can you get the lads to dig up all the ones your allowed Laughing

We had good weather also and it was a pleasure to be at work.

Days like today really lift your spirits after such a cold wet winter. Did'nt get much help from the lads though. They thought I was mad. Comments like.."What the #:#* you diggin that s#+t up for bro, It's half dead innit"

Decided to remove the large root underneath. I put the cut root in its own pot as Spindle suckers freely.A glimmer of hope ? Img_0018

Is this the same Will Baddely who, not one week ago, was bemoaning the fact that he needed to reduce his collection?

Or am I mistaken?

Innit.

LOL! I'm sure we can all sympathise with you there Will.

Matt and I are going out on t'hill with Mr T this Sunday, ostensibly to collect a huge Hawthorn he's been prepping for quite a few years. What's the chances Tony'll be the only one who comes back with a new toy?

And don't we know it!

Just think yourself lucky though, mate. If I lived near you I'd be stalking you for bonsai wisdom. As it is, Tony drew the short straw!
