The Carrs is dressed for Carnival. The mowing regime (or no mowing regime!) is paying dividends and there are sheets of colour – buttercups, daisies, dandelion clocks, speedwell, ladies smock and pignuts everywhere. Over on the field by Twinnies Bridge (Grange Meadow), there are clumps of grass with the most beautiful purple plumes. Does anyone know what it’s called?

More good news. Cheshire East have contributed £7400 to the Wetland crowdfunding! It still needs a lot more contributions though. Can you help?
