Keith, Dave & Eoin down in Gullet Wood at Wooplaw on Saturday. A basketmaking client wanted 2000 cuttings to plant up in her own willow beds. So we were out there. It's about the only free Saturday we've got for a good few weeks as the 2012 courses are about to really start. Had to be done .... frozen ! But good craic !
