I don't like flashy awards, since they're mostly given because of an obligation to stupid group rules. If you got something to say, say it in your own words and not by copying and pasting. I don't follow such rules, so if you have the sweaper running, don't even bother to invite me please. As of now the flashy awards will be removed, no offence!
Superb National Trust gardens south of Llandudno.
There is also a superb food centre a short drive away.
February 2017 Site check 1pm to 3pm 13/2/2017 Mild & clear blue sky slight breeze from SE
Hi all
After missing January managed to get out today. Lovely and sunny as well as feeling mild.
Walked from home so total volunteer time 2 hours from 1pm to 3pm.
Not a lot to report.
Usual scrubbing up in places.
Fence seem secure.
Footpath boardwalk missing plank nicely repaired since my December visit.
Nothing exciting in the way of wildlife.
The top badger set appears to be active.
The honey bee nest in the Ash at the far end was quiet and no sign of life.
Reserve is very wet all over.
Another of the pollarded willows has shed a limb.
The wet area on the down section before the big fallen ash is getting over run with Phragmites.
I think that is it.
Looking forward to the conference on Saturday.
Cheers

Thanks for the info.
Info back includes:
At least one of the willows is due to be pollarded shortly
The entire boardwalk (surface) is due to be replaced shortly
I can't immediately put a timescale on either but we'll be clearing up the brash (after the tree surgeons have been in) and burning it and doing the boards ourselves. We have collected the material from CBC and will be ferrying it a bit nearer, if and when it dries up a bit!
See you soon.

Landmark Trust property: Church Cottage, Llandygwydd Cardiganshire (Ceredigion). Main entrance through kitchen from car parking spot.
Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire. The estate is managed by the National Trust and consists of a mansion house surrounded by formal gardens, in a deer park in the Peak District National Park. The house is the largest in Cheshire, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.
The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust. The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century. Modifications were made to it in the 1720s by Giacomo Leoni, who retained some of the Elizabethan features and added others, particularly the courtyard and the south range. Further modifications were made by Lewis Wyatt in the 19th century, especially to the interior. Formal gardens were created and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house, gardens and park have been used as locations for filming and they are open to the public. The Lyme Caxton Missal is on display in the Library.
