The times we've said "oh we've been lucky with the weather" or "It's always nice on Green Gym day" well you can tell from the photos that this week it wasn't! The heavens opened, raining constantly from before loading the van at 9.00 a.m. through until on the dot of 1.00 p.m. when miraculously the clouds parted and as we dragged ourselves, dripping and steaming back to our vehicles, we were bathed in bright sunlight! A strange morning indeed.
But we are a hardy bunch and the session went well, and our spirits were high, as always, as the willow was being cleared. These trees, if left, would eventually encroach further into the marsh and change the valuable and on the Island, rare marshland habitat. Important then that the area is managed. The willow is cut high to enable the stumps to be treated.
Many thanks to Mark for the editorial and photographs this week.
