I had a walk down to bridge 20 this morning - very little visible progress - looks like about a foot of the brickwork has been laid on the damaged parapet this week - it must be slow going due to the documented problems with the lime mortar (not liking cold temperatures).
While at bridge 20, I helped myself to some of the branches left when a nearby tree was felled. Using a bow saw I cut some branches into 5 inch pieces and bagged them up - my plastic cart has had it - now split - I will have to replace it soon. During a few towpath walks I have noticed that the trees are being felled or cut back this winter (also mentioned in other blogs). I dont think I will invest in any chain saws or circular saws as other boaters seem to do - I cant get big logs in my stove - small Carabo, and the bow saw seems to perform well and is good exercise.
