Masters of Fence Destruction

This past week I helped demolish some degenerated fencing on one of the local estates and learnt how to stock fence like a pro. We also finished the Pergola and visited a site at Chorleywood. I finally got a shock from the electric pig fence- I had done well not to get stung so far! Yesterday, Will and I went to Warburg nature reserve at Bix Bottom to take some pictures; it was nice to see some more of the local area. I finally got some pictures of the carpets of Bluebells in Turville. Last night I went to the local school fundraiser- a BBQ and line dance. It was great fun although some of the routines were surprisingly difficult. Today I set another smaller moth, the Pale Prominent, and Tony gave me the ultimate setting test: a crane fly, Tipula oleracea, the legs of which break off with the slightest touch! This week we will be moving the sheep, preparing for the Commons Day and getting ready for learning how to shear. Bring it on!
