2025 - What I did today

Spent most of the morning chatting to 3 shirtless men with big machines!. They're replacing the post and pigwire fence at the end of the garden with post and rails and they'll add some sort of wire grid at the bottom to keep the dogs out of the field. All being paid for by the new landowner who keeps horses in the fields.
They've been clearing my neighbour's fence today, including dragging out all the brambles that have come in from the fields. Hopefully, they'll be able to clear my "ditch" and save me struggling with the brambles myself.
Don't know when they'll be back to start mine but I'm hoping it won't be too long. Really excited at the prospect of being able to walk in the ditch again.
