Kaz and I turned up at Matthews Nursery, Tenbury Wells just after 9.00 am this Saturday. What a place, they must have millions of trees.

The trees look very good and are excellent value.
Fast forward 24 hours to yesterday.
A giant thank you to my mates Blind Pugh, Hawkeye, Mrs Hawkeye and the kids. It really was a case of many hands making light work. Well fairly light work anyway.

We planted 57 trees today.
Blind Pugh and Hawkeye.

Talking of getting stuck in, it was soon time for a teabreak.

The table was my Mark 7 chicken pen. Commissions taken. :oops: :oops: :oops:
After several hours digging,we all had that warm glow of a job having been well done. I was really pleased with the results. I can almost see and taste that first pint of cider. :drunken:
I've just realised that the warm glow that I'm feeling, is coming from blistered hands and a knackered back.
Note the very necessary rabbit guards
