This evening we returned to the Orchard Triangle. We have a long history with this space, having helped plant and maintain the trees and done lots of weeding and clearing over the past few years.
Over the summer the grass around the fruit trees has got rather long, brambles have started to creep in and some large branches needed chopping and clearing.
Armed with a variety of tools and our usual can-do attitude we cracked on and left the space looking a lot tidier by the end.
A few of us then trotted off into the dusky evening for our post task run, head torches were a must, autumn has certainly arrived.

In a race against the sunset we headed to Aston's Eyot for a last evening scything session of the year.
The Friends of Aston's Eyot are creating a new meadow area, so the task this evening was to continue to prepare the area for wild flower seeds. We scythed and raked nettles from the perimeter, bashed in 3 fence posts (it needs fencing so the deer don't eat everything), hoed away unwanted seedlings which were popping up, and collected up a vast amount of broken glass. Aston's Eyot used to be a rubbish dump, so there is a huge amount of Victorian glass just below the surface.
Well done on reaching 50 Good Deeds Laura!
