If you can't stand the heat (AT243)
Another dreich day - although we are well above any flood water and don't really have much to complain about. Gill had signed up for the Clean Kineton volunteer group which is a bunch of locals who pick a part of the village which could do with a clean up and see what can be done in a day. Today it was more like 90 minutes before the rain arrived, but with 10 of us we managed to clear quite a lot of junk from a section of the old railway line. We pulled out what looks like half of a cast iron range from an old house - pulled as in winched it up a slope!
We also removed what looks like two cubic metres of chain link fencing which had been dumped in a tangle, right in the middle of the old trackbed. Hopefully a local scrappy will be happy to collect the pile we made. On arriving home, pretty much everything we were wearing went into the washing machine - most of the mud the fencing had accumulated was daubed over the volunteers.
Sadly - no photo taken so I have had to resort to footering with a few things I found in the kitchen - I'll leave you to guess what they are :-)
Thanks to Ingeborg for hosting Abstract Thursday.
Edit: added in the original as an extra
The weather forecast looks much better for tomorrow - which is a good thing as Fitzbilly and I are meeting up in Bourton on the Water as a recce for the blipmeet in March.
