Hedgelaying

Scott wanted to see what I was doing at BTCV so he came Hedgelaying with me earlier this week



You can see where some of the guys have already been unfortunately where we've been working is still waitiing to be laid so isn't much to look at although I've not got to do as much hedgelaying as I'd like since people get so concentrated on what they're doing that they don't want to shift their brash result in big piles that need shifting ...



He says he can't understand why I'm taking photos of the 'Midget Men' he says he's much more exciting and photogenic then they are



Fortunately for him the little fella hasn't heard Scott grumbling about him and is quite intrigued by the arrival of this 'clumsy giant man'

"Well don't just stand there watching, help me up!"

Cool pics!

Great photos as usual DrDalek6 , I'm sorry but I have to agree with Scott Scott is much more exciting and photogenic then the playmobil BTCV helper guy. I bet the playmobil BTCV helper did just stand there watching instead of helping Scott up. Scott must be learning a lot from watching you work at BTCV . Oh can I just say I love Scott's hat .

Cool pics Scott. Hedge laying is something you don't see this side of the world, but have seen how its done on the telly. Quite an art to it I believe.

great pics scott, good to see the lads out and about helping

Very nice & well done pictures Scott , Your very lucky to be able to take your lil fella's into work with you. I am in the same position & it goes towards putting that little bit of fun into an otherwise long day.
Great upload.

Thanks mate I like them both equally, Scott's much more poseable although the Playmobil fella is easier to take out with me and he's the BTCV mascot so he gets about, that's the thing though if you can put the time and effort in you can get very different and equally impressive results photographing from an AM's prospective or from a Plamyobil mans prospective.

They both like watching and learning (Scott and the little guy are both just wiaitng for som saw and lopper in the apppropriate scale so they can help out don't trust them with our billhooks ), and the Playmobil men took it upon themselves to act as quality control. In the lttle fellas defense as well his helping hand probably wouldn't have done much to help Scott he'd probably have fallen off the hedge

Indeed I've mastered the basics of cutting nearly through the branch without snapping it off completely (I'm sure my Supervisor would saw straight through the branches deliberately to wind them up) as for knowing how to lay it my understanding on that is minimal basically obey the instructions of someonewho knows what they're doing and try to learn from them but, I do quite enjoy it as I say though getting distracted with moving brash

Thanks I think he was glad of the fresh air even if it was a bit cold and he fell off my seat when he was wiaiting for me in the minibus
