January 2025

 

January, the month that is 'midwinter' and it has lived up to that with a good mixed bag of cold wet and wintery weather with few Saturdays fit for working in the churchyard which is frustrating but a sunny Saturday morning was gratefully seized and quite a lot of clearing up was achieved and equally gratifying to observe the shoots of bulbs bravely pushing up shoots. A lot of last seasons leaves were cleared up and bagged, particularly from graves and the path opposite the South Porch door. Pausing for a mug of tea I was amused by the antics of a Blackbird and Robin rooting along the freshly cleared path obviously unearthing something worth eating.
