Standard Drive Parking
Another section of paving being finished.
Top dam
A photo I took at 7.30am and it was a stunner--
it really surprised me!
************************
Papyrus on the move!
First it was removed from the dam and put out
to dry on the adjacent field.
People were not happy with it there so
it was moved to the Acacia grove
Then John who has cleared that
area wasn't happy, so off it went to the
Leighton Drive field to become compost
*********************
Tree fall
Still at top dam --the river was blocked by a
fallen tree and had silted up
Both sides of the bridges needed clearing
deepening and widening
Looking better
***********************
The sluit close to Bantam Drive was full of rubbish so
we had to spent a day there, cleaning it up.
***********************
Top dam below the spillway
A tree had come down blocking the stream
The men dug a channel around it and
the water flowed easily again
At the spillway was a deep, boggy and potentially dangerous hole,
so the men filled it with logs, not pretty but functional
Once the digging was done it was time to
plant white arum lilies
We took them from inside the forest so the ones
on the forest perimeter were untouched
They are a bit droopy now but hopefully
next year they will be in full flower
***********************
This tangle of dead trees next to the river
is next to be sorted out
***************************
Spring!!
The first tree to be fully clothed in fresh greenery!
That's all folks!
