Sticky!

This week always was going to be a sticky week with various meetings that were going to be awkward, to put it mildly. The first one this morning, I'm pleased to say, went a lot better than I thought and we all felt that we'd made our points of view known, listened to others and reached a compromise which will suit almost everyone. Success! Less successful is the material available for blip at the moment, these are the stems of the cornus bushes that we have surrounding part of the pond. They look beautiful from a distance and even better when the sun shines on them - no hope of that today but I am very grateful for small mercies!
