As always, summer has brought rapid growth from the plants at the edge of the wayleave, and hence the need to cut them back so vehicles can get through easily. Not having a brushcutter, and given there are smaller trees as well as brambles and bracken, we tackled the job with chainsaws...
It's hard work, you sometimes have to be at awkward angles...
You also end up with huge mounds of foliage to move as well...
On the plus side, with some sunshine the butterflies are out in force - we saw several today, here's a pic of a White Admiral:
Hopefully out cutting will last through August now, but that'll depend on how fast the plants grow back!
