Gates

With some heroic huffing and puffing I managed to raise the right hand side of the gate which had collapsed. The gate post is rotten and could be turned over but for now it is held up with dodgy bits of wood. The post was connected to the fence which was was lost under a huge swathe of bramble, acacia, OMBeard, spindle tree and the amazingly irritating suckering field maple. I disconnected the post from the wire fence, which later sprang into my face delivering my first cut at the new house.

Later I cut the undergrowth out from under the walnut trees. Such a lot to do.
