On Sunday morning we started work on clearing back the vegetation from the edge of the top field, trying to recover the line of the fence. We were joined by our neighbours who are going to use the field for their two horses later in the spring. Between us we had quite a collection of weapons for dealing with the invading scrub and trees: three strimmers, two pairs of land-handled snips, two bow saws, two pruning saws and two chainsaws. The trees etc didn't stand a chance! It was also a good opportunity to try out our new heavier duty chainsaw - really makes such a difference using the right tools and ones which are properly sharp!
Still lots to do, but it was quite impressive what we managed to achieve between the five of us in the space of a couple of hours and finish before the rain started. Also a couple of gates need to be constructed. In any case it is good to see the field being put to good use and it's a great way to meet the neighbours...
The neighbors on which side?
