Low numbers

 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.

Just the 3 of us on a much cooler day .

So lets try and finish that B-----y Cutting .

Had a hand this time , after I did the tough stuff with the brush cutter Kevin used the battery brush cutter on the top where there are less brambles etc


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 .
