Reasons to be shearful, part three, 1, 2, 3
A gentle run, then emerging sun when we arrive at Mayfield Open Space for an hour of volunteering fun.
Melanie's first task, John taking snaps ('cos he's got a bad back), friendly walkers saying thanks as they amble past.
Trimming dogwood cuttings, ready for putting on the woodland paths.
Spending the last half hour, using manual power, shearing meadow wildflowers at the end of their lives.
Mitch did his 300th good deed, snipping back wildflowers and weeds - he's very good indeed. Three shears for Mitch!
We finished with chatting, while gratefully snacking on mince pies and chocolate given in thanks.
