April working party

Some rather better and more spring-like weather tempted a few more volunteers out for the April working party. Quite a bit of shelter belt pruning was accomplished, and all the trees were inspected for caterpillars. 

Our regular task of flattening molehills was slightly less onerous than last month. Some sterling work was done pulling up suckers and another back breaking task, repairing stone walls, was attempted. Your scribe was reminded that he is a rubbish dry stone waller. 

The pear trees are in full flower and there's plenty of buds showing on the apple trees.
