Ground Force..............Plus Some Painting

Its got to that time of the year when the plants decide to go berserk, time for a trim.

Armed with this.... 


I went to tackle this crazy fuschia....


Result, a neatly trimmed bush.


We also have quite a few net rides around the island that need a good bash back from time to time. Knocking back the vegetation through the net rides prevents the nets getting tangled when they are unfurled for catching birds, it also keeps our trousers dry when we have to walk through looking for birds.

Take that Titchmarsh, Dimmock and Walsh.



Painting was also to be had, with help from Robin (friend of the Stanfields) we went at the door frames with undercoat and white gloss. Getting a reasonable amount of paint where we actually wanted it and the rest on us, the doors around the observatory are now starting to look spick-and-span.
