Lavell's Lake, Hurst ~ Hedgelaying

The first of the winter's hedgelaying tasks at Lavells' at the end of November had also been a day of blue skies but then it had been cold and frosty whereas today was warm, a reminder should one have been needed of the arrival of spring, with even the occasional butterfly fluttering by.

Despite having completed a considerable length some hedge remains to be laid. We hope to return in the autumn.
