That's at Carrbridge isn't it? Not far from Tomatin, a little drop of which I shall enjoy before bed tonight.

It's a lovely bridge. Would like to see traffic over it again.

It was a coffin bridge so hopefully not.

Never heard of them. Assume a dead thing? Would be proud to posthumously proceed over it.

A reasonably tall hedge on a slope is always a fun combination. To add extra fun, the path was being rebuilt and had lots of freshly layed bricks and slabs.

Laurel, yew, yew, spiky pyrocantha covered in Ivy and laurel.

Second photo was getting dark and hasnt come out well with the trees behind.

A storm blew through a couple of weeks ago. Finally got round to a job next door. Decent sized Oak went over along with a birch and pine. Spattered quite a few smaller trees. Tension and compression cluster F! Trampoline took a hit.

The schools here do a work day and you pay a small fee that gets donated to charity. So my mate brought his 14 year old along as did I. My oldest son work with me during school holidays so he came along as well. Many hands to drag and shift logs.

Got a fair bit done and then setup for tomorrow after we winched the root balls back into place, for milling the bottom 6 metres.
