Potted up some rosemary cuttings that have been rooted in water.
Picked some Wizard broad beans pods that had been left to dry on the plants. They'll be next season's seeds.
Cut back a lot of brambles so that I could pick the blackberries that were protected by all the thorns.
.............and now, for the daft bit!!
You may remember some of the "cromlechs" made from slices of tree trunk, leaning against old tree stumps to make a table. The wood is starting to rot now so I've been deconstructing some of them. I pushed the top slice off, onto the ground and it split in two. Then I pulled away the surrounding slices. It seems that this was not your ordinary cromlech but a highly popular home for ants! I first realised this when I felt something crawling up my leg and biting me. There was only one thing to do, drop my trousers!! I was standing there, trousers round my ankles, inspecting the back of my leg for trespassers. Fortunately, nobody could see me as there are so many trees and bushes to screen me.
