The 'band' making the best of a really wet day

Introducing Simon on Kubota cutting tray
A light shower to start the day followed by a mainly dry spell and ending with heavy showers translated to heavy showers for most of the day {you have got to love the met office forecasts}, hence entertainment at Sherborne's workshop. This meant Simon and I on tidying, equipment cleaning duties. But for the Kubota with Mike's encouragement a rather more challenging test leading to a risky removal of the cutting tray to clean and sharpen cutters. Re-assembly took a full team effort with all 4 of us required, cutters still need sharpening though!

Mike our leader on disc & angle grinder
Mike multi-tasked most of day with some office work but still had time to use grinders for sharpening strimmer blades and cutting off a damaged piece of the cutting tray.

Andy on bird boxes
Andy on bird box construction duties, still need to work on retail outlet!

Maddie waiting for some action
Maddie as frustrated as the rest of us with the wet weather, sulking a little before we finally finished up tasks in workshop and set off to do some woodland management at Budgehill belt in spite of the continued rain late afternoon. Tks Simon!

End of day rainbow over water meadows
My last day working with Mike for a while so was relieved to get outside and the sun even made an appearance , although not until we had finished for the day. So last post until October as I will be venturing North to experience the countryside & wildlife of the Scottish Islands.
