In the top corner of the bottom field, the brambles and nettles had pretty much taken over. It was very difficult to get access to this area in the summer due to the undergrowth. Well, a couple of hours with a metal bladed strimmer soon had this area under control.
This part of the field is bordered by a small crag. There are some trees that are growing either at the top of the crag, or in the crag itself. Because of the canopy of the bigger trees, the smaller trees underneath have died. I had one of these (an old Hawthorn tree) removed early in the week and cut the tree into logs. It is amazing how much wood has come out of such a smallish tree – there were 4 wheelbarrows of logs from this single tree.
Once the undergrowth has dried back a bit, I will burn this material on a bonfire.
