River cleaning

The last sunday of the month has become a day for tidying the whole vicinity. The retired population in our little hamlet is pretty high now and some of the blokes have decided to do a regular tree felling weed whacking session to tidy up the river areas. It is looking better already in the stretch just below our house, which is where they chose to start. Just below the community meeting room really. There is a much better sense of river space looking down from the road. I think I cut down about ten cedar trees today, all sickly or runts between bigger siblings. It needs a gang of folk for the tidying up, trimming branches etc, which is where most of the effort is required.
