Spring!

Bluebells were everywhere in the woods

A lovely patch of Unk’s daffodils

Salamanders abound

Fancy ducks crossing Henkle Way

Kay inspects Sid’s work.

Oh oh! Fallen log across the loop trail!
It is a big one, too.
Bill and Sid saw away!
Of course Diana does most of the work!
Yay! The trail is now clear.

Such a beautiful yet scary sight!

Sid and Bill hoisted a couple of roof structures in Rick’s absence.
