Just seven of us this morning, but we achieved a lot. We dug out the bed of the stream down through the woods, so that it won’t flood when we get heavy rain.

It’s a “winter stream” or “winter bourne”, hence the village name Winterbourne.

We also did a major litter collection, removing half a dozen big sacks full – about par for the course after the summer holidays.

We were a bit discouraged though that there has been some fly tipping on Besom Lane near the kissing gate – we’ve reported it to South Glos Council.
