The challenge of not-so-glorious mud!

After a very wet late Autumn, there was mud wherever we walked. It is all very well for the reptiles …

But something had to be done, and the children have been in on the act. Here we record two useful projects that they have enjoyed.

The entrance to the farmyard, where Rosie Chicken lives, was a quagmire. So a small number of bricks were laid in a prepared rectangle, and pebbles were used for a surface.

More recently, in January, a muddy puddle was developing at the main entrance to the plat. The children filled the hole with dirt and then laid a plastic grid on it so we hope to have grass protected and penetrating in the spring.

The challenge of mud seems endless, so there will probably be more projects to come.
