Back in 2022, after #StormArwen, I rolled up a section of the fence around my wood so that I could haul fallen timber out of the south end of my wood. There's still a lot of fallen timber there, but I think I have hauled out as much as I practically can. So today I decided to get the fence back up.
Of course, brambles had grown through the rolled up fence, so it was far beyond my stre…

Starting the unroll. The winch line from the tractor is taken through a turning block at the farm gateway, and hooked into the roll. There's a mess of fallen timber in the foreground, which will be outside the fence once it is back up, and which is destined to become firewood. Behind, the wood is still a mess, but the young oak trees along the edge of it are just coming into leaf.
(This picture is accidentally on its side, my apologies) Starting the unroll. The rolled fence has been pulled clear of the weeds, and is unrolling under the branches of the oak trees.
The fence more or less fully unrolled along the edge of the wood. Some of the fence posts are broken and will need to be replaced.
The fence fully unrolled and tensioned, but not yet upright.

Die korrekte Überschrift müsste wohl "Autofahrer rechnet nicht mit regelkonformem Verhalten der Voausfahrenden und löst damit Unfallserie aus."
OK, ist ein bisschen sperrig.

Just in case anyone was wondering how our cats spent their day today (and I said they'd never be allowed on the bed 🙈).

There is a cauliflower hash brown on that plate. It's not everyone's cup of tea but I adore cauliflower. Sparky doesn't like cauliflower but he might so he needs to get into the small space between my lap and the table to make sure. Usually we shut them out when we eat but I was home alone yesterday, a rare occurrence, and risked it.
