Barbed Wire
Today we took down a barbed wire fence! We used this crazy tool called a “wee-beastie” to cut, bend, hammer the wire and to pry out the gigantic staples that fastened the fence to the fence poles (E posted about the “wee-beastie” HERE). When we got the barbed wire of the fence we had to roll it up, same with the actual wire fence!
The funny thing was that there were horses that grazed in the field we were working in and they happened to be very curious horses! So they came over to us and started looking into our back packs!! ( H posted about it HERE)
We did all this work for an organization called “Friends of the Lake District” and they ask for volunteers to repair stone walls, (they’re everywhere in the UK) or paint someone’s walls or in our case take down a fence ;).
All in all, it was a pretty nice experience for us to do some work that we needed!!
Pretty cool that the ponies come right up to you.
Requesting a photograph of the wee beastie…
Sorry Emma, we didn’t get a photo of it! You should stick to wrenches for now anyway…
