2020 - Tell us what you did today

After Francis's visit yesterday there was a bit of clearing up to do.
The bean frames are toppled - fortunately, they've come to rest on another frame so they're not completely flat to the ground. 
Lots of small branches, with leaves, scattered around and the squirrels were having a field day with all the acorns. There's a hefty hanging branch on an oak tree, far too high to reach with a ladder, which will have to wait for a tree man. They've told me before that oak branches will dangle for years whilst ash branches snap off, but a dangling branch over a main path worries me a bit.

A small side fence and gate also blew down. It was a bit rickety, made from pallets, but it kept the dogs confined near the house if there was work going on beyond. The area either side of the fence was overrun with mint. My morning job was to pull up the mint roots - and it was such a pleasure - a bit like being coated in toothpaste. Still lots more to remove - my treat for tomorrow, weather permitting.

Gathered a basket of fallen apples and cooked some for the freezer. Lots more to do.
