Tay, Jenna and I met Beki from City of York Council to continue improving the path near to Acomb Wood. With Beki’s help we managed to lay the last of the 2 bags of the rocky stuff 💪, extending the path and filling in some holes in a side path which will be completed at a later date. We were joined by an unusual bee which decided to perch on the edge of one of the bags until Tay relocated it to a nearby hedge. After an hour we departed just as the rain started, but fortunately it didn’t last long. The cafe stop afterwards was very welcome!

This was quite possibly my favourite task of all time. Why? Here's a list

• burning stuff
• demolition
• bashing things with a sledge hammer
• wildlife (including a very unphotogenic rat)
• power tools (electric saw)
• treasure (marbles and a sling shot)
• lovely people, all equally enthusiastic
• very grateful people at the orchard
• perfect weather

we hope to be back soon to do more burning... watch this space!
