First dry day of the year (at least it feels that way) - and it was even sunny!

We got to work cutting and scything the bramble risings at the entrance to the orchard. These were then raked and cleared into the surrounding borders, keeping the space accessible and encouraging wildflower growth.

A diverse range of conversation topics covered "Zoology - is it just remembering a list of animals?", "Should your barber also be your surgeon?" and "Anatomical enhancement for the purpose of ski jumping".

We finished with Orchard apple juice, listened to nesting Ravens and watched a robin enjoy our newly exposed orchard pantry.
