Honeyball (Friday 30th September 2016)

Back at the Old Forge work has finally been recently resumed on the outbuilding and the dry-lining is progressing. Soon the electricals will be installed and plumbing works carried out. The outside tap has been replaced and now works, and a gardener has also been enlisted to rescue the wilderness that surrounds my cottage, and she has been busily fighting bindweed and brambles. She has lent me a book called How To Make A Forest Garden - which mine almost already is.

As a consequence of all this, my small trailer has had its tyres pumped up and its licence plate changed at the local garage to match Archie's, and was today filled with a vast load of cuttings and prunings, and then driven to the Honeyball Recycling Centre.

This, then, is the view from the top of the steps of one of Honeyball's massive skips, and shows the former gravel workings of Hills Quarry Products, which today was host to a large gathering of Canada geese, herring gulls and other birds.

Although I have visited it many times over the years, it hasn't been blipped since 2005.
