The forecast light snow inevitably became more persistent as we set off on our dog walk. As we walked round the castle there clearly had been some work going on. We were not impressed as the banks had been churned up and clods of mud deposited on an already muddy path.

As we returned we found the culprit. Boys and their toys came to mind. I just hope that the path is cleared once the work has been completed. Further round we met another worker with a strummer who was clearing the undergrowth but not churning up the ground. I half wondered whether this is a new bit of kit and the remote controller needs more practice!
