Hi!!
Nadia here!

| Before |
We have wonderful news. The railway bridge
at the entrance to the reserve is getting a facelift. For those of you that
don’t know; there is a railway bridge just on the edge of the nature reserve,
and lets just say, it doesn’t win any prizes for it’s looks. If the engineer
that designed this particular bridge is reading this, I am sorry, but being
from the north east, you have the likes of the Tyne bridge to compete with - an
engineering triumph.

| After & The fantastic Network Rail team |
We are working with local schools to design a mural inspired
by nature. An artist is going to come and work with the school groups to create
something a bit special. We can’t wait. But before we could put the overalls on
and get out the rollers I needed to ask for permission. To my delight, Network
Rail were more than happy for us to paint the bridge, and not only that, they agreed
to come along and give it an undercoat first.
Last week staff from one of the Network Rail offices
descended on the reserve in a glow of orange and within minutes the brushes
were out and they were hard at work. We were very impressed with the speed and
efficiency in which they got the job done; and a cracking job they did too. Of
course we supplied the team with cake and biscuits and a cup of tea, it was the
least we could do.
We
are incredibly grateful for this, so THANK YOU Network Rail for helping us make
this special nature reserve just that little bit more beautiful.
