In addition I cleared around 150 self set trees and used some of the stems to provide small sections of screening by basket weaving them through stakes.
Today (Sunday) John Highton and I cleared some of the tall hawthorn trees to the rear of the wood. The trees, which had grown to a considerable height, used to form the hedge but obviously has not been managed for 60/70 years. John used his chain saw to cut then down to a manageable height and then laid the remaining trunk.
This has really opened the wood up and will provide daylight and allow the evening sun light to shine through the wood. I am going to fill in the gaps with some more hedging.
In the photograph above you can clearly see the paths in the distance meandering through the wood.
In the photograph below you can see the view across the fields. It would be a great spot for another bench especially if it was situated looking north west rather than this westerly view. This would provide a full picture of Singletons parkland.
And finally to end todays post I took the opportunity to take a picture of a bunch of daffodils close to where John and I had been working. the daffodils are in full bloom and most of which have been donated by Jim Pawson and planted over the last 5 years.
