Willie and Marie

Saturday, February 13th 2010

Although we have had a couple of wintery showers, today has had a spring-like feel to it. The sun was shining from a blue sky and there has been a definite air of anticipation in the flurry of birds at the feeding stations. Even the bees in the observation hive realised it was warming up and were buzzing around.

Willie and Marie, who have a long association with Foxglove, were here today repairing the access road which had suffered in the prolonged icy weather.

Marie was in charge of the tractor and filling in all the potholes whilst Willie came along behind with the roller!

What a difference they have made. A lovely compacted surface for you all to drive in on.
