Terry's Photographs.
The pre-session briefing.
Work gets underway.
Cut it down... bag it up...then drag it away for burning!
Bramble was everywhere.
Rather spooky with the smoke drifting across.
For once, we had our tea break inside.
Working along the boundary wall.
Wow...that must have been some high tide.....!
Back to the battle with the bramble.

A rather nice shot of some Jew's ear fungus.
All Saints' Church at Freshwater has been a favoured GG venue for many a year now. We always seem to be working there just as the spring bulbs are starting to flower between the gravestones - such a great sign that spring will soon be with us. Not quite here yet though, as there was a strong chilly wind blowing (although it did stay dry!). The majority of our work was down in what is known as "the pasture" which is off to the eastern side of the graveyard. Once again the bramble had taken hold so it was a matter of chopping it down, then dragging it back before tossing onto the bonfire. Everybody was on the look-out for any early nesting birds, to make sure that we didn't disturb them. This was a well attended session which meant that a huge area was cleared and all the arising disposed of. Another section of the group were gainfully employed working around the boundary wall, giving everything a make over. We were invited into the church for our tea break (nice to get out of that wind) where we were served with hot drinks and delightful home made cake - so a big thank you to the ladies who arranged that...!
Many thanks to Terry for taking the photographs at this session.
