  1. This afternoon I began trimming the #willow beside our #house. To launch the #dinghy to get the from-the-boat view I had to trim an #oak. I have a fair few trimmings to get rid of, which have been dumped on a nearby causeway I created on neighbouring land a few years ago that needs building up a bit after a very wet 2024. I still have to finish stripping the oak branches so they can be added to the #causeway too. Hopefully, I'll finish clearing the trimmings tomorrow when the main paths are due for another #mowing. Does this count as #composting the #trimmings.

    If all this seems a little mad it's because I may not have to do it for much longer. We agreed the sale of the house a few weeks ago. That's the main reason I've been quiet. Too busy #househunting.

    Your image reminds me of one I took more than a decade ago.
    It was an amzing day. I got to sail with a retired Thames Sailing Barge captain who was contemplating buying a #seahawk #yacht like mine. I was also allowed to sail the #tideway #dinghy he owned. The photo is found about halfway through the tale at:
