Cold start to the day but warming a little in presence of a weak afternoon sun.

Bangle & I collected the mail and then went round the orchard, the brisk walking staving off the chill.

Then I continued putting up the first stretch of 7-wire fence along the inside of the planting area in the One Acre and Front paddocks. By evening I had all 7 wires up and under strain; next I will crimp the wires, finish stapling to the posts, and probably add some battens although battens are optional until we get back from our European holiday in July. Meanwhile Karola carted tree trash from the Middle paddock to the bonfire, small trailer-load by trailer-load.

I alos took down the railings between the gate and the fence; a structure enclosing one of Karola’s liriodendrons and some hebes and intended to stop sheep crowding against the fence when being pushed through the gateway.
