Some of you commented on the word 'pightle' yesterday, (a small piece of enclosed land, often by a hedge) so here is what it really looks like. There are now three information boards with details of the plants and wildlife to be found here. The walking paths are all kept tidy with bark chips and with help from a team of volunteers. Other jobs such as managing hedges, shrubs and trees, wildflower patches and overgrown nettles and brambles are also looked after by volunteers. There are a number of trees and benches dedicated to people who used to love this area for dog walking or just to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.
An attractive looking area, and an interesting new word! I have a habit of taking photos of information boards in places that I visit, and then using OCR software to convert the photos to Word documents. The file of them is a real mine of information now,and I learn far more reading them at home rather than reading the information board itself.
