Delight Farm may have been misnamed.

Andrew and Peter W. struggle on.

We returned to Delight Farm, to finish off planting there. A further 180 trees went in, to very stony, rubbishy ground. Birch and Willow were in the mix though so it should be fine. We were: myself, Andrew, Philip, Geoff, Lesley, Robert, Dave, Cath, Brian, Peter W., Adrian, Hap, Ros, and Stephen. Cake was Bakewell tart, with the jam missing, but still lovely. Weather was wild and mixed, with episodes of driving hail sweeping through. Some nesh sorts insisted on sheltering behind the farmhouse for tea break. Toughen up.

There were some sunny spells, honest.
