As noted in our previous news, the new Information Room has been erected – but now it has information sheets for you to look at. All the photographs have been taken on site, either by volunteers or by Ellen Willmott. Richard has also made a couple of frames and included some examples of plant labels found on the site dating back to Ellen Willmott's time or, in the case of one item, possibly even further back. Do let us know what you think, and include any suggestions for improvements.
A photographer from the Gazette came to take details and some photographs after the opening and these may appear in the Christmas edition of the local paper.
Although a lot of work has been done to keep the paths safe we are aware that some areas are still slippery in the wet, so we are looking at ways of making them safer. Meanwhile, please do take care.
The cows have now gone, but evidence of their visit still exists so take care there too in case you tread in one. We would hate to find a cow-pat footprint in our nice new Information Room, and you wouldn't like one in your car!
Little green shoots are already popping up all over the place, mostly snowdrops, so we are looking forward to a good show this spring.
