And they all come down...



They’re coming tomorrow to sort out our trees. It will be good to see further down our garden, at present blocked by the fallen tree. It will also be nice to regain some privacy from our neighbours.

I’ve just been round to see our neighbour, BJ. The garden company are hoping to take down his huge sycamore tree as well, as it casts so much shade over our garden. They are also muttering about whether they can take down another of BJ’s big trees. I thought I’d best warn BJ that they were coming tomorrow & check that he & his wife were still happy about that sycamore tree coming down. BJ says he is. He was intending to do it himself in the summer, when the better weather came. This just pre-empts him & saves him a job to do, at our expense, not his.

The garden is going to look bare without all the trees, especially as the main job won’t be happening until June. However, it’s best done now, before too many birds have built their nests & started to rear their young. They’ve still got chance to build elsewhere.

The hedge of trees behind where the greenhouse was is to remain for the time being as they provide essential screening for our bedroom. They will come down at last minute.
