I’ve lost track (no pun intended) of the state of play with HS2 but I think the ‘first section’ is under construction. Has always seemed to me to be a complete waste of public funds, likely to bring little or no benefit to the average passenger and destroying some sensitive environmental areas in the process.

(Apologies, tree sideways, still do not know why that happens). Trees in threes – 2/2/’20. Myton (Hull’s once out-of-town settlements) – 12 blogs -4/2 to 17/3/’20. Hull Museum Publications – 10 blogs – March and April ’20. Sculcoates (Hull’s once out-of-town settlements) – 19 blogs – 5/4 to 14/5/’20. Newland (Hull’s once out-of-town settlements) –

History of Hessle Common – 5 blogs – 17/2/’18 to 21/2/’18. St George’s Chapel, Windsor – 22/2/’18. Gainsborough and All Saints church – 2 blogs –

Harpham, Lowthorpe, Nafferton and Kilham churches – 23/4/’17. Worcester churches – 30/4/’17. Misericords – 1/5/’17. Great Malvern church, Meaux tiles and wildflowers – (early May ’17).

Am going to use the same scene shown above for the first three blogs of this inventory, let me know if you know where it is. Am going to list the inventory from start to 3/11/’20, each section will be about 300 words long so don’t know how many it will need. Some brief preceding
