Off to the Annual Oxon & Bucks Swim Counties for Session 3, the finals. In the heats this morning. Youngest qualified for both the 100 Breast and 50 Fly finals. 2 second PB in the Fly, seeded 9th, but qualifying 2nd! 😳

@MichelleU_Wood Thank you Michelle, not only for your comments, but also for your unwavering support during a career change transition. It’s coming together & I’m super happy, but the encouragement I’ve received throughout from what has been a tricky change has made things significantly easier.

Completed for a client today. This didn’t need hard landscaping or a monster budget, but a natural look. Once it settles in it’ll look like it’s always been there. Coppiced Hazel edging & chip from other jobs, planting Hydrangea Annabelle & Quercifolia, Vinca, Confusa & ferns.

That’s 550 trees in this season & 1300 since we started just over 1 year ago. On target for 4000 around Oxfordshire over the next 4 years. It does very much feel like a gift to future generations. Society grows great when old me plant trees in the shade of which they’ll never sit

One of my tree planting colleagues, enjoying a coffee & slab of Panettone, brought out by a very happy local resident. Excellent.

Soaked to the bone yesterday, more of the same today, guess this is what I signed up for! Morning all!

@MichelleU_Wood @OxfamSW Great finds, but I have to be honest, I struggled with The Salt Path. Battled through, but didn’t enjoy it. Funnily enough, my copy went to Oxfam. But many people have, horses for courses I guess. Enjoy!
