After attacking (sorry – pruning!) the shrubbery at the front of the
house, John has now decided to lay the hedge between the paddock and the
big field. This is a long overdue task as the hedge currently resembles
a line of straggly trees. Hopefully laying it will encourage new growth
and provide more ground cover for birds and insects. The only downside
may be that the paddock is more windswept – it certainly was today when I
took John a well deserved cup of coffee!
