Just spoke to neighbour. 'She is concerned ~ she called me over to talk about the trees. I spoke about how you came across the money you gave me, and that you were holding it for Elah etc.

That there was no guarantee you would have the land and I may give you the money back.

If you were to have the land how it would only work on many conditions, one being that you talk to her so she doesn't worry etc.

So will write up some of the converstation.

The areas of land are as follows:

Before any title transfer, the trust has to be clarified on behalf of Elah, and the title has to be held, initially, I would imagine by Gavin. As the primary beneficiary Elah may take control and change the landscaping of the 'top' field with the exception of the boundary. The area of burials is not to be modified without the agreement of all Interested parties.

The whole area maybe partitioned so that parts may be sold with up to 4 occupants if they wish to use the land for IELU, and any finances received from such sale will be to further Elah's trust on or off that part of the land Elah benefits from.

A charge will be entered on the title regarding future options for proprietorship and boundary status.

Regarding the boundary I propose a few pine trees to define the lines at maybe 32m or 45m spacing with hawthorn, quince and blackthorn hedgerows between.

The pine trees will be planted on the boundary line yet will grow into both properties. The centre of the trees will define the boundary but a space of some 4.5m to 6m will be kept wild either side to allow for falling branches and both sides will hence have a substantial barrier.

Initiating the transfer of proprietors.

The agreement with Steve is about to go ahead but the one with Michal seems to have stalled.

Has Michal really changed her mind and want to become responsible for some 23 acres or is it a financial gain issue?

To be continued: Also discussion continued at IELU

Sept. 23rd.

Peter visited to check on the tcr and was happy to see they had done so well, me too, but me too was even more happy as Peter brought a flagon of his home made cider and a book by Gavin Young 'Return to the Marshes' about his experiences largely around his visit to the Iraqi marshes south of Basra in 1976

We will contact you if anything is missing, or we need more information.

August 20th.

After a further chat with 'Land Registry' around 10:30am that as the Form B restriction on CL11#### mentioned 'Forest Agriculture' I submitted the original 'River Land' trust deed that Steve and I had signed clarifying that a) Riverland and Forest Agriculture referred to the same title restriction and b) That Steve and I had closed such trust.

Query

Two things that put me off
* Too many leaves coming from the ground
* The veins in the leaves curve into the main vein. In the Skunk cabbage they end towards the outer edge of the leaf.

Detail for July 2024 GH

Finding all the other plants were the common hogweed is a releief.

The difference is clear by the seeds.

Thanks for that, they look much healthier than ones I put in on a creek in the Tavy the day before we put those in. Again thanks for taking the trouble to checking on them and giving me the details of frequency of flooding. I was going to send you the photographs I took but yours are much better so I will not bother.

Just to confirm that the mass of green mat plants growing in the tidal ditch that we crossed via the log ditch were in fact common water-starwort, Callitriche stagnalis.

Hi Roger. A belated thanks for allowing me to visit your site and show me around. I have now looked and surveyed a number of potential new sites for triangular club-rush on the Tamar and Tavy lower catchments and have selected three that broadly represent suitable a habitat but display a variation in certain environmental conditions. This will allow us to further understand the best way of recovering viable populations of this almost extinct population of this plant in the UK.

I would like to take up your offer to establish a few plants in the area of bare ground in the tidally flooded area that we located at the end of our site walk.

The total number of plants proposed for your site is 20 and they will be planted by hand in the bare mud. Should the plants survive they can obtain a height of some 1.5m and form a dense tuft.
My experience of this plant is that it is not invasive and in fact its rarity illustrates the limited habitats that it can survive in. This appears to be restricted to relatively stable mud in saline or freshwater sites free from competition from more aggressive vigorous emergent plant species.

The current status of your land is that it falls into a number of Landscape and Nature Conservation designations. Notable are Special Area for Conservation SAC; a Special Protection Area SPA; and a Site of special Scientific Interest SSSI. These three nature conservation designations are administered by Defra/NE and look to maintain and improve the special importance of these habitats. The presence of this particular plant species will not alter or add to these current protective measures or add further constraints to on site owners beyond those already in place.

With your agreement I will look to establish the plants sometime in the first week in July.

If this answers all of your concerns and you still are happy for me to plant the rush can you confirm by email. I will then sort out a suitable date in that week to meet up with you on site.

Many thanks again in cooperating in this nationally important species recovery programme.

Regards

Peter Nicholson

OK the update is that Dave King came to see me today looking for his BIN. I explained that I took the one thinking it was there for me, when maybe the council didn't leave me any, which is supported by Dave saying he ordered a second lot of bags and left them by my 'gate'.

So I have cancelled my request for a RUBBISH bag and Dave and I will use the same BIN:

Update:

Dave King has a new set of bins and gave me the two 'food waste' bins.

As far as the 180Lt rubbish bin goes I will put mine in the one for Trekensa Gardens if there is room, else I'll leave my bin behind the hedge.

UPDATE: May 20th: Buying from Bromley Brush

Hi Roger,

Thank you for your e mail. Jack the Falafel is not one of our customers but you’re right to return it to them.

We do supply a vegetable brush and I’ve checked our records and over the years we have had a couple of instances with the wood splitting so it does occasionally happen with this and similar products.

Kind regards, Tim

Had a visit from Matt Healy and Co. Checked out how the wetland was doing after being left for 30 years and following a recent breach to what had been grazing land decades ago.

While agricultural output increased as a result of the Green Revolution, the energy input to produce a crop has increased faster,[77] so that the ratio of crops produced to energy input has decreased over time. Green Revolution techniques also heavily rely on agricultural machinery and chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and defoliants; which, as of 2014, are derived from crude oil, making agriculture increasingly reliant on crude oil extraction.
