Hawthorn hedging
A rare sighting on Barnes Common
02 January 2009

Walking across Barnes Common today, we came across a section of new hawthorn hedging, done by BTCV volunteers.  Wonderful to see, too rarely seen these days, and will keep an eye on it all as it, hopefully, regenerates. Always remember sticking in a short length of willow to stake a rose some 40 years ago, at Hill House, and seeing the stake grow into a 50- or 60-foot tree.  Reassuring. Otherwise have been alternating today between doing a little work, reading, watching films, thinking about digging out the compost and reaching out to old friends and new on Facebook.
