| 8 Mar 10 | North Ride with felled trees A stretch of the North Ride, on the the right of the photo, with a row of felled poplars that I took down to let more light in and encourage more undergrowth to come up. The crowns of these bigger trees will also provide some screening near the boundary of the wood for a few years. Once the brambles, grasses, nettles, and other annuals have grown up, these branches will be draped with a tangle of stems that will even last through the winter. |  |
| 8 Mar 10 | A buzzard, perched high in the branches On the day I took this picture of a buzzard, high in the branches of an ash tree, there seemed to be several buzzards around, soaring overhead or flying out into the fields and then back into the high trees in the wood. The pheasants were understandably quite skittish too! | |

| 16 Apr 11 | O&P Badges I've blogged about these badges, which I took along to the O&P Open in Manchester in April 2011. If you want some, either order them online or ask if I've got any with me at an event. Either way, they're £1 each. | |

| 5 Apr 10 | Treepod The "Treepod" is a hazel tree with three equidistant trunks, each about 6 inches in diameter. Before it was created in summer 2009, there were many more smaller stems, but I cut them back to reveal the three main trunks. It makes a good natural substitute for a St Andrew's Cross, and it's possible to use it for suspension work by lashing rope to the trunks. | |
| 4 Apr 10 | Whipping Frame Whipping Frame and leather cuffs in the Glade at Bridgewood. The frame was made in summer 2009, using hazel poles cut in the wood a few days earlier. | |
