Inspired by the skip, which is now half full, we set off to inspect the far end of the land where the Winnebago used to be. When Michael and Alison left, they didn't really tidy up after themselves, so we barrowed out piles of rubbish and cleared a site for a bonfire, well away from the house.
M & A had also left a part of their fencing, taking only what they needed and leaving the rest for us. We were a little worried that if the council ever got round to putting in the road along that side of our land they might take the fencing line as the boundary of our patch. It isn't on the boundary because M & A understandably didn't want to include the prickly shrubs that line the track in their toddler enclosure. So we knocked out the posts and moved them about four metres across and banged them back in and attached several pieces of fencing that we found lying treacherously in the long grass and ended up reasonably happy with the outcome.

Then we dragged some of last years cut olive branches into the cleared area and Dave chainsawed them up for firewood and we made a little bonfire of the twiggy ends, and we felt that we'd done a very good day's work at last this year!
