... another crop circle ...

2 hours of turf stripping and turf laying and we have another crop circle - this one the biggest yet at about 6m in diameter (actually it's 6 paces - they are easier to do than fiddle about with a tape measure).

So we have 3 circles awaiting digging and manuring and de-rooting. The ground was, until recently, in the shadow of a very large black poplar and its roots are a spider's web beneath the turf layer. Mercifully they have begun to shrink and are easily snapped and disposed of.

The plan for the rest of the year is to focus our energies on 4 celebrations a year, the solstices and equinoxes. On 21st December we will be getting as many friends together as possible to bless, dig and manure our plot.
