At school before 8.30am signed in and headed to school wildlife area as usual ..weather dry though conditions underfoot extremely muddy due to recent almost continuous wet weather !
Whilst waiting for Mrs Webber to arrive I started to prune back the buddleijas growing on the slope opposite our tool shed…Mrs W arrived around 9am after adding the bucket of fruit peelings from nursery to a compost bin she joined me pruning and weeding the buddleija area ..
We worked for 2.5 hours filling a dumpy bag with various shrub prunings plus weeded out alexanders and wood avens …saw sign of daffodil leaves emerging in a few areas …I took numerous buddleija cuttings which I planted as hoping for even more flowers next year 👍🏻
We stopped for a refreshment break and catch up then Mrs W returned to pruning and weeding along the top pathway whilst I was busy picking up twigs and pulling out alexander regrowth from the large grassy area between the 2 main paths ..
We packed away tools etc and headed for our homes around noon 👍🏻
