A shout out to David Hunter, gifted woodworker based in #Pembrokeshire, he built this glorious children's den for a client's garden in #NewcastleEmlyn
If yo're in #WestWales and like natural wood, do take a look at his work 😀

My own, personal, bluebells. Hope they are the proper ones. #bluebells #coppice #woodlandmanagement

So, springtime in the coppice garden. I have red or white currants I didn't know about. #currantbush #ribes #coppice #spring

Been in our #woodland today, starting to tidy up some neglected #coppice at the lower end. Most of this area hasn't been worked since the end of world war 2. Neglected coppice will rot and die within 100 years or so, but properly managed coppice can last pretty much forever. A valuable resource and all produced with water, CO2, #solar energy and a few nutrients.

#OTD Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, #French #Author, #Writer, #Actress, #Cat Lover, & #Poet, is born.
Known simply as Colette, she is best known for Gigi (1944) & Cheri (1920).
In "Sido," Colette wrote,
"O #Geraniums, and yours, O #Foxgloves,
Springing up amidst the #Coppice,
That gave my childish cheeks their #Rosy warmth."
She also wrote,
"There are no #Ordinary #Cats," & "Time spent with a cat is never wasted."

Experimenting with panoramas for tree photographs. My cousin recommended it to get the full tree without backing away too far. Pleased so far.
These are overgrown hazel stools, not one trunk but plenty thick for #ThickTrunkTuesday

Today I did some #allotment stuff before the rain came in. Weeded my #mulberry and #rhubarb and mulched with woodchip. I also took out some dead branches from veteran #apple trees in the #coppice / #orchard I am establishing. Lots of overgrown undergrowth to clear out.

I plan on organising some time coppicing this Hazel and some like it in January. North #westberks
