Week Commencing 2nd August 2026
Monday
Just 2 and a half today , we really could do with some more volunteers just for a change in the conversations !
With another hot day predicted we saw an early morning attack on the cutting behind platform 2 .
The strimmers are now out of their depth , time for the brush cutter , we are into Ash , Hazel and Bramble territory . This was all I could do before it either gets too hot or my Knees say enough !
Ian fixed another wheelbarrow and was in the process of putting BMT on each of them .
Kevin came in after lunch to give the flowers a soaking , far play he pops in every other day to keep them looking good in this weather.
Wedneday
Just the 3 of us on a much cooler day .
So lets try and finish that B-----y Cutting .
And that's it for another year we only go as far as the signal , as beyond down to Springfield road bridge is far too much for us to do.
Now we only have to do platform 1 side cutting !!
Some flowers in the pots have succumbed to the hot weather , but Kevin has a few spare which are used to refresh the dead and the dying .
A planter has been made for some lavender that he grew from scratch., just needs a coat of wood preservative.
Still Dieseling on the railway , this week it was the turn of the Class 37 and class 20
I forgot to take a photo of them but we had a welcome return of Lynne and John ( after many months of illness ) to our sales shed .
