New fencing
We are so pleased to see the new fencing at the rear of the Lodge. The original fence was made of larch lap panels and was often the target of heavy winds and rot ! This fence is more durable and less intrusive. It should last for many years. Maybe we could entreat them to replace the builders fence around the chapels with this?
Resurfacing on main drive complete.
Some of the worst areas of the main drive have been resurfaced in the last week. There are undoubtedly lots of hot spots still in need of repair but time and finance struggle to coordinate! Well done to Bereavement staff for getting this done at one of their busiest times, and whilst they didn’t actually lay the tarmac- they did have to organise access and areas. Not a simple job !!
How many varieties can you spot? Send us your photos.
Our thanks to our committee member, Carola Klein, for her observations and photographs of Fungi in the cemetery. We notice that this year the huge ‘Fairy Rings’ we saw last year have not reappeared.
We know that many of our web site followers take their cameras along when they visit Brandwood End. We are always interested to see your results if you think you have an interesting shot, whether that is an unusual headstone, wildlife or flora and fauna. Can you e mail them to us at friendsofbec@gmail.com
Stark but beautiful.
Beautiful in a strange way. Winter shows the amazing structure of trees.
November – changing weather views!
All the photos in the album link below were taken within a few days of each other, yet the weather is so different! (Can I give e mention to Gary Staples who took the drone shots)
Keep your eyes peeled for Fungi.
Its a damp day today but here are some seasonal photographs of fungi that were spotted around the cemetery by one of our committee members, Carola Klein.
Startling Cemetery Photographs.
Gary Staples takes some amazing photographs in Brandwood End and has kindly agreed that we can feature them on our site. He uses many enhancement techniques, often producing 3D photographs! Take a look at our facebook site to see lots of these!
Two hours well spent!
The weeds were taking control in the Civilian Garden of Remembrance and so we thought we needed to take them in hand, seeing as the hedges look so smart!
Our thanks to Lisa for stepping into the breach at very short notice, so three of us ‘set to’ and pruned, cut back and weeded. Looking good now.
You can see that we made use of the ‘poo’ kindly donated by the carriage horses!!
Tidying up the Civilian Garden Hedge
Our thanks to the Paul and his team for helping us to keep this hedge under control.
