Well, its been a while, too long!.......Ms nb57 has Pneumonia and Sepsis, spent 7 days in Intensive Care and a further 4 days in Coronary Care, it was a very close call, I nearly had to buy a suit! (and remodel the patio!!)
Anyroadup, we have been back to the woods which had done what woods do, which was to grow a bit....the access lane however is grass and it did what grass does...grow and grow high 2/3 feet high, so first order of the day was to make er indoors comfy in the 90 with a book and fire up the brush cutter, each visit I kept going until the tank was empty, then did something else, four visits and it was done.....its a great feelong looking back at the neatly strimmed track.......so, that done it was time to move the horsebox shed, dunno if I mentioned that we tried to move it in the Autumn and got the whole plot stuck on the hill, sliding sideways onto the hedgeline, there was much cursing and we had to unhitch the horsebox and leave it there and just managed to find enough grip to get the 90 out.....we returned a few days later and lowered the horsebox back down the hill on its handbrake.....that was fun!
Now its nice and dry we cleared access and the route and successfully got it located....Base Camp where the horsebox is hidden is now the priority.........a couple of trees need to come out and some nettles have been Roundupped, the aim is to create a grassy clearing with a Firepit, hammocks etc......
My little lawn tractor assisted in final positioning with the pink one at the helm!
We are off to the woods this morning, so Ill take some photos, wish me luck!
We are having to use insect repellent as the horseflies are viscious! I got bitten to buggery on the first visit, bloody hell it's pricey, works well though...any alternative suggestions, weve never noticed them before so Im guessing its a time of year thing?
