A slight change of plan today, but nice to complete a useful job for the Fieldwork Project team!

We were tasked with turning a load of compost/manure into a new compost heap. What was a solid few feet to shift, we thought it would take days! But actually, we were wrapped up in 45 minutes.

Oh yeah, there were horses. Ponies actually.

Top stuff.

After a drizzly start, the rain eased off just in time for a final push to clear the pile of wood chip that The Blenheim Arpley Estate Residents Association and GG teams have been chipping away at (pun intended) since the summer. In just over an hour, we redistributed many wheelbarrows' worth of chip across the various plant beds, taking extra care around the new spring shoots that have started popping up. Extra points definitely go to Mark for his speedy wheelbarrow manoeuvring skills! Nice to get a job done :)
