Taking a fence 2 IV

Saturday 22nd March

Written by Bristol runner

Yeah that title doesn’t make much sense, but anyway…

Today we were finishing off the task we started last time we were here. Cutting ivy and other undergrowth away from the fence (which was put there in the 1930s for fans of facts - the fence not the ivy) so that it can be repaired.

After an hour ish of enthusiastic snipping we downed tools and had some tea, coffee and biscuits before heading on our way. A great task where you can really see the difference afterwards (though maybe not from my photos).

Until next time…

Stopping Ivy taking a-fence

Saturday 16th November 2024

Written by Bristol runner

The ivy was maybe taking a fence but we took offence to this. Our task today was to clear the ivy away from the fence around the church. Armed with a plethora of tools on a gloriously not rainy morning we set to work. A lot of chopping, pulling and chatting and time flew by. A lovely new location for a task and after a quick break for assorted hot drinks and biscuits we had a final chop. Done!

Congratulations to Melanie on her 400th parkrun at Ashton Court just before the task (and Darren on his 450th)

Until next time…
