The friends meeting was held last week and the mins are here The interesting bits are they now have money to pay to restore thing that have been restored. They are also contemplating a web site which would evolve spending money raised for the park on it instead of providing nesting for wildlife or other useful things. Considering my two sites have been running for over 5 years with 1,000 of photo and weekly reports wit hover a million hits whats the point of wasting money on another one? I had an offer from the scouts to help the ANTS and I passed this on to them over a week ago and they have not responded so I assume they dont want help?
With the few nice days we have had spring has burst into life the rabbits are out down Coronation walk. The swans are trying to nest on the island but have nothing to make a nest from. The wildlife group brought hay but no one would put it on the island for us
There a few lady birds about which is a good sign
The daffs have a great show of yellow down the main drive just right for people to take for Mother day I have seen people taking them as it is
The flower bed by the lodge is looking good and the path has now got stone laid its just waiting for the tarmac
Gardeners have been out with their new toy that grinds old tree stumps down they have done a lot by the lack. The question is will the mess be left like this or cleaned up when stumps were done last August they left the mess and its still there.

Stump grinding is usually mixed with the soil and allowed to rot down over the coming months / years, the process does not remove the full system but removes the stump as an obstacle. Once the ground has settled it can then be seeded and become part of the grassed area with no trace of a tree being there. Must go down soon to see the work as it has been a couple of years since have been to the park !!
