Walking Friday: 3.8km
Swimming Friday: 1.25km

Our hedges need cutting at just the right time so that
a) They look tidy
b) The job's not a massive undertaking - so before the shoots have grown thick and hard
Here's a picture showing how much is taken off, exactly halfway through the process:
So, a half-cut hedge really os nothing to do with how much it's had to drink.
Cutting hedges at this time can be tricky due to the wildlife, particularly birds, using the foliage cover to make a nest. Cutting operations were stopped in two places due to suspected nesting operations.
On a smaller scale I found a tiny spider's nest where the young spiders had just hatched and were just starting to head off for new lands:
Always makes me think of the book "Charlotte's Web" when I find one of these!
