Another short blog on trees.

A knock on the door this morning revealed a suited and booted tree surgeon. There has been a nuisance tree out front here for years. In season some toe rags have spent years throwing small crab apples off it at our windows. Last year my neighbour had an altercation with some of these lads, so we wrote to the council asking for the tree to be removed. He did most of the work, as he is bigger than me and much more annoyed. Now this tree has gone. I cleared up a few stray apples that might be left to save any child from temptation

Felled at last with a 4 foot stump. I know trees should be allowed to grow but this one had caused quite serious trouble. It can be dangerous to tell yobs off for mischief making.

Into the shredder goes the nuisance tree. Echoes of Room 101. Also a photo of our new walls both us and next door had the walls replaced recently. The brickie, who also builds one off infill houses, if asked. He filled in my back garden circle last week. The tree surgeon is, hopefully, returning tomorrow to prune some too tall trees in our 50 foot garden. The house behind them is presently empty. So fingers crossed.

There is a Hazel in front of the white shed and a Laburnum that has grown far taller than we ever thought it would grow, to be shortened. More sun, less leaves and other floral droppings. The squirrel will be disapointed too.
