Hurrah, yesterday Ray chainsawed the last remaining branch on the big tree we are pruning above the wall we are finishing. It was a difficult one to do as it was growing vertically but had more growth on one side than the other, the side we didn't want it to fall. We just had a short time before we needed to leave for Sunday lunch with friends. Half way through and it just didn't want to fall, bit more and a bit more cutting but it still needed a bit of persuasion with a rope to fall the right way. Fortunately we just managed to get it done in time, quick bath and off for lunch. Super meal and great company not to mention fiendish plans for the summer ahead to do with boats.

Today Ray has been cutting up all the leaves and small branches in the 'chobbler' to spread as mulch and I have been burning the rest on the bonfire keeping only pieces big enough for the wood pile. It only takes a short while to cut the tree down and then ages and ages of work to dispose of the canopy. When you see it on the ground it's always amazing how it holds up there! Bonfire finished just in time before the rain started this evening, best thing for really putting out a bonfire.
