Walking With Nicky

It’s wonderful to walk a stretch with Nicky. She notices the thick hedgerows and how carefully they’ve been maintained. A little further on I see 2 men creating an entire new hedge, so I stop to ask them about it. They explain that there’s been a lot of dead ash and trees which have fallen over so they are re-planting. It’s good to see that they’re putting in what will be, when it is grown, a proper thick hedge of trees. The young trees they’ve planted are protected with plastic against the rabbits and the deer. I hope to come this way in a few years time and see the saplings flowering in the spring.
