We were getting into the panto-spirit yesterday: Nevermind Jack and the Beanstalk, it was all about Jack Frost and the Longest Bramble Root.
Boundary Brook Nature Park looked like a winter wonderland with frost coating the long grasses and teasels and a beautiful blue sky. Fortunately the sunshine made it slightly less than baltic and it was good to get outside despite the chill. We weren't sure if the ground would be too frozen for our planned task of digging out bramble roots, but fortunately it wasn't solid as a rock.
A bit of competitive spirit got us motivated - prize for the longest bramble root! - and with visits from robins and a local cat it was a very lovely morning in the sunshine.
At the end of our digging session we wandered along the paths we've built on previous sessions in Boundary Brook Nature Park and had a look at the finished bird hide which we contributed to last winter.
