Our Friends and Other Animals

 15 - 18 Nov 2020

We were invited to a bootleg barbeque, and tootled along, not expecting much, although we then wobbled home on our bicycles much later than we expected.  Second lockdown started a couple of weeks ago, so it was nice to meet a few people outdoors.

On our way in, we saw a large toad in the light of the bicycle lamp.  I wonder if it is a home-grown one from the pond?

The third of the on-contour ditches is just about finished, hurrah!  My back is feeling it rather.
Dave did the pickaxing for the new trees and a chronic problem in his wrist kicked off, so he's been in charge of planting.

And straw distribution.

This bottom ditch is a main thoroughfare as well, so it had to be wide enough for a barrow, and has been freshly cardboarded to keep the grass down.

Both beds fully strawed up now.  Dave at the far end, planting beans as fast as I can prep the beds.

The return bootleg bbq, in which Robbie meets Inky and Dapple and falls in love.
