A good Saturday night

Just got back from a short stroll along the Greensand Ridge.
It felt good to blow the cobwebs out and stretch the old legs.
Here's a fine example of English Perpendicular Gothic:
And then a (thankfully) short walk up a (unthankfully) steep hill that would take me on to the top of the Greensand Ridge - my path would take me along this treeling:

paddle a hundred in a canoe and you are already a child of nature.".
Lunch in school today, making the most of spring with the addition of some fresh hawthorn leaves and nettle tips to the bread. The children wrapped the twists nice and thick so we can then when the bread is cooked we then swapped the green sticks and slipped in the sausages- top job.
Also made a nettle tonic (less popular with the children) which gave me a chance to use my new Stanley mug.
Now that sounds like the sort of school I wish I could've enjoyed.
The school is only like that when I rock up, keep trying to post a piccie of the bread and snags on the fire but it won't let me know why it keeps failing! grrrr
One dead, partially rotten and stubborn Scarlet Oak, and one restored full-sized axe. Removed this because it was leaning and overhanging a regularly used, marked path.
I still have to remove the rest of a fallen Chestnut Oak on a different trail, I created a brief detour by taking off the thick upper branches with my bucksaw and Gränsfors so hikers don't have to bushwhack, but the tree trunk is blocking where the trail used to run.
