Sep update
The Eco-build project has been going really well with lots of enthusiastic helpers and we've been learning lots - the foundations and stem wall are complete and we are moving onto the second phase of constructing the cob walls.

Conservation on meadow
I've been working a lot in the meadow recently, clearing grass after the scything. It's a great place to be, with the wide sky above and the birds singing from the brambles. Malcolm and Sheena came and helped for which I was very grateful. Malcolm and I saw the green woodpecker and I saw the jay a few times too, rosy pink as the sun started to descend. The cherry trees and Norway maples are ablaze with colour and I was lucky enough to see them change day to day,like slow motion fireworks.

Invertebrates Officer at meadow!
I visited the meadow last week with Eddie Milner, a neighbour from Weston Park who also happens to be Invertebrates Officer for London. He'd not been to the meadow before. He loved it and was particularly impressed by our grassland and the Yellow Meadow Ants! He said there would be 80 different species of… Continue Posted by Mary Hogan on August 16, 2011 at 6:00pm — 1 Comment
saturday 13th august on the meadow...
Really enjoyed sat at the meadow...... the weeding of the veggie area with Karen ......... and stuffing a lot of those juicy blackberries..........
Discovered the hammock so had a quick snooze in the shade. Accidentally pulled up a shallott and red onion whilst weeding so decided they would make a good soup, so then also harvested some nettlles too. ......
Patrick, George and Kate were hard at work at new build area filling the outer area and pushing the machine…

swarms
There were two swarms when Paul, caroline and I went to look at the bees on Monday 16th May. One is installed in the national hive at the meadow orchard and the others are up at Plot 21 now, where many colonies failed during the winter. Caroline and Paul were naturals at beekeeping. Caroline had never handled bees before and fearlessly shook branches and held a bucket for the swarm to fall into.
