Paws for Thought



By ‘C’:

Glorious Green-Gym weather, but no WGG session today.  Instead, an opportunity just to walk through the countryside, and enjoy it – and take in the sights of some of the places we know well.

This, for example – the hedge we planted in the field next to Riverside Meadow, Crowmarsh:
That must have been a decade ago.  We did the initial work of digging one long trench, planting the whips, and wrapping round their protective plastic spirals.  I wonder if anyone has a plan to: a. remove the tree-guards; b. lay the hedge …

On the other side of the river, St Leonard’s churchyard, which was managed as a bijou nature reserve:

Upstream, from the Thames tow-path, a view of the pond area in Wallingford Castle Meadows:


Further on, at the boundary of ‘Green-Gym country’, a view over Lower Meadow:

There we have most recently pulled docks, but in the past we have sunk posts for leaflet dispensers, made gateway-entrances more accessible, and repaired the perimeter fence-line.  You can tell where we have been on fence-maintenance mode …

and where we haven’t:


I hope you are all having a good Christmas.  Here’s looking forward to more tasks in 2017!
