Saved by public appeal, a barn that’s next to the trailway running from Sturminster Newton to Blandford, this used to be the railway line, now it’s a cycle route. The barn owl was out and about in the field behind. Found four thistles large enough for the donkeys to eat and the goose grass is growing steadily so should be ready to pull in a couple of weeks. Levelled the mole hills, used the excess soil to fill in the gouges left by the donkeys when they ran round the paddock. Collected a load of rubble for the driveway. A very windy mild day with some sunshine and the occasional shower.
