Piles of leaves

Yesterday we managed to get to the park once more for a walk and a sniff.  Many leaves have fallen from the trees in recent days and the park staff have started to gather them ready for moving them to compost heaps.

Buster spent many minutes inspecting these piles.  Maybe he could smell hedgehogs trying to keep warm beneath the leaf cover or maybe he was just being nosey.  

Heaps of leaves are a popular place for hedgehogs and other animals looking for places to hibernate at this time of year. Buster and I would like to ask gardeners to please check for animals before leaves are moved to bonfires or into the compost piles.

On the subject of bonfires we notice that the main public bonfire display has started to be assembled.

Loads of wooden pallets are being collected ready for the bonfire and firework display on the evening of 1st November 2008.

The field still looks very wet.  Maybe the fire will help dry it out.:-)

Work still continues on the flood defences nearby. 

Concrete walls and earth bankings have been installed to help protect this area of the city.
