Clearing the steps

I thought that as we use the wood everyday to get to and from the school that I would clear some of the worst steps. It will make our journey that much easier.

So I found the spade that we had in the shed and started work on it when I went across. It was tougher work that I thought it would be and I really had to bash the spade down hard to get the stuff to move. Some of the steps I was only able to move a bit, but just enough to get footing.

One the way back I moved even more ice from the worst steps, so they look a lot better now. The ice came off nicely so I was able to clear whole steps.

This is what I had managed to get done when I went to collect my eldest son from school.
