I'm back!!! Dunno why I bothered. 28th February 2024

I have spent the past few weeks: building an Ark as it has been raining so much (apparently the wettest February in 268 year), trying to stay warm in the occasional cold snap, but mainly decorating our downstairs. I didn't feel too guilty about not making site visits, as I reckoned Inert would not have returned.

Sure enough, Inert (or any other contractor) have returned to Manor or Chandlers farm since last year. Chandlers farm still resembles a bomb site, with the rock sorter outer perched on a huge pile of stuff where it was left last year.

Manor farm is the same, possibly settling a bit, green shoots beginning to appear, and still flooded on it south west corner.

I bumped into a couple of regulars who say they heard that work to complete the site will begin imminently. I'll believe it when I see it.

Lots of people have been walking on the bridle paths, I would say the southern one more than the northern one. Probably because the fence has fallen down along large sections of the bridlepath. Well, fencing with wire mesh will be needed pdq as the breeding season is upon us.

Here are some photos of a Buzzard I spied opposite the MGLG car park as I was putting my wellies on.
