Chris has completed this year's hedgelaying (started in the blog below). He was assisted for the last couple of days that he was here by Neil's eldest brother, Paul, who had attended a hedgelaying course last year and was able to practice his top binding skills under Chris' expert tuition. Paul also did some gapping up planting along the hedge length.

| A lovely sight - a laid hedge with chestnut stakes and hazel top binding |

| The hedge nearest me is not quite ready for laying but its time will come in a year or two. |
The end of March brought the arrival of our four weaners who have settled in very well.

| Annabel meets Bridget, Queenie, Olympia and Barbie |
