A very successful working party in cold but sunny and pleasant conditions. 14 of us achieved a great deal, completing the cutting of the area where the cotton grass and orchids grow. The magnificent new cart was in use again and was once more a great success; it really does make life easier. Even the very boggy areas were negotiated successfully. We are lucky to have some help from the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers coming this week, so were able to cut everything that needed it in that area, without having to remove it all, since the BTCV volunteers will finish that off.
Walking across the common yesterday I saw that the middle of Scouts' Pond is still frozen. Someone has thrown some tree branches onto it, which isn't very helpful.
