At last we are able to restart our work in the woods, albeit with restricted numbers.  Everyone's temperature is tested before they can join a work party and we have other special work practices to control against the risk of Covid-19.

 We have been watering recently planted saplings and clearing vegetation, particularly St John's wort and new sycamores, which has sprung up rapidly in the enclosures around our planting.

Meanwhile the rowans look splendid with their heavy crops of berries.
