After an early lunch I raked out the fire ashes from last week and put some new stakes in to hold up the Yardarm work surface
Then finished off by trimming back the branches from the other week into withies but it was quite cold and damp so called it day around 2.30
No sign of any squirrels this week again or of any new activity in either of the newly dug burrows. Need to remember to suggest to Jo that we could probably make a small pond easily by damming the steam a bit, near to the Hive
