(Not just) Another TFL work week at Plodda, 8th to 15th May

Sometimes life throws up opportunities that just can’t be missed.  Whilst on my work week with Gordon (see previous entries), I received a call from the office explaining that they needed someone to stand in for one of the Focalisers on the following week at Plodda.  I wouldn’t normally work two weeks in a row, not only are the weeks physically demanding, but they can be emotionally so too.  However, in this case I would be working with Howard, who I trained with, and I would be back at Plodda for another week, a place I love being around.

Thanks to Howard’s energy and the enthusiasm of the group, I was carried through my more tired moments, and by the end of the week I was extremely disappointed to say goodbye to a fantastic group of people and our well formed community.

During the week we planted roughly 4000 trees in Glen Cannich.  We also spent one day in the tree nursery at Plodda under Jill’s guidance, transplanting trees, digging out and adding compost to beds, and potting out Aspen root cuttings.

There was amazing food (including a multiple course curry, and veggie burgers on another night), and another opportunity to get up to Loch An Eang, this time with Howard and Charlotte, on our day off.  Here are some photos, a link to more will follow…

Ok, link is now here.
