A long day of raking, moving the cut grass, and tidying around the gravestones. #StMichaelsChurchGlascoed #churchescountonnature Monmouth Churchcare Visit Monmouthshire Churches Cymru Cadw Friendless Churches Caring for Gods Acre MonmouthshireMeadows penpedairheol

Phase 2 of the meadow cut: the lower half of the churchyard. Grass collection next. #StMichaelsChurchGlascoed #churchescountonnature Monmouth Churchcare Visit Monmouthshire Churches Cymru Cadw Friendless Churches Caring for Gods Acre MonmouthshireMeadows penpedairheol

What to do on a day off 🤔 I much prefer the scythe, but with time constraints the "power scythe" came out 🙂 Mixed emotions to see the meadow start being cut. #StMichaelsChurchGlascoed #churchescountonnature Monmouth Churchcare Churches Cymru Friendless Churches Caring for Gods Acre MonmouthshireMeadows

Service this morning at 11am. Come early or stay later to see the meadow in seed before it gets cut 😊 #StMichaelsChurchGlascoed #churchescountonnature Monmouth Churchcare Visit Monmouthshire Churches Cymru Cadw Friendless Churches Caring for Gods Acre MonmouthshireMeadows penpedairheol

Beautiful crepuscular rays (we prefer the common name, the fingers of god) over #StMichaelsChurchGlascoed this evening ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #churchescountonnature Monmouth Churchcare Visit Monmouthshire Churches Cymru Cadw Friendless Churches Caring for Gods Acre MonmouthshireMeadows

Likely to be the last cut of the paths before the main cut of the churchyard.

The wild meadow is working wonders: an abundance of Meadow brown butterflies, grasshoppers and crickets, bumblebees, and some Burnet moths ❤️ #StMichaelsChurchGlascoed #churchescountonnature Monmouth Churchcare Visit Monmouthshire Churches Cymru Cadw Friendless Churches Caring for Gods Acre MonmouthshireMeadows

Well, that's looking rather lovely ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #StMichaelsChurchGlascoed #churchescountonnature Monmouth Churchcare Visit Monmouthshire Churches Cymru Cadw Friendless Churches Caring for Gods Acre MonmouthshireMeadows penpedairheol

We scythed and cleared the left side of the path yesterday. Very little diversity in that patch, mostly grass. #StMichaelsChurchGlascoed #churchescountonnature Monmouth Churchcare Visit Monmouthshire Cadw Friendless Churches Caring for Gods Acre MonmouthshireMeadows penpedairheol

Peace. Tranquility. Contented. Evening in our churchyard is very special, and very good for the soul ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #StMichaelsChurchGlascoed #churchescountonnature Monmouth Churchcare Visit Monmouthshire Cadw Friendless Churches Caring for Gods Acre MonmouthshireMeadows penpedairheol

Wow! This beautiful emperor dragonfly just resting on the stem of hogweed.
