That is it for the year!
27 October 2023
It is scary how quickly the year passes. It seems like days since we spoke about the arrival of Spring. Now it is October, the nights are dark and spring seems years away! The second and final main maintenance stint of the year at the Butte finished last week where things went pretty much to plan and by and large, we got everything done that we set out to do. Apart from the first week, the weather was immense which of course is a big plus and a major help. Marked off the hit list were strimming all the usual areas, serious grass cutting, replacing some pieces of decayed wood on the pathway, the replacing the vinyl on the information boards. This vinyl replacement is covered in its own article as we are so happy with it. So the years draw to an end and yes we all await spring again. The Butte is looking great and our year's activities are by and large over. It's ready to face what the Northern France winters can throw at it which was one of the ultimate aims back in Spring.
