How’s your bank holiday been? I hope you’ve
had a chance to sit back and enjoy the time off!! Sprout has been enjoying the
sun with some paddling pool action yesterday and a trip to the playground
today. Isn’t it nice to go outside without having to pile on the layers and put
up with the cold?
So all in all a chilled out weekend.....until
I decided over lunch today that I couldn’t stand the trees at the end of the
garden a moment longer. These are the culprits….
Four rather sad looking conifers that have
taken over the flower bed at the top of the garden.
Sprout’s Aunty and I wielded a saw, a pair of secateurs and a glove each - the expression all the gear and no idea springs to mind or perhaps that should be half the gear in the case of the gloves!......
However, in a matter of about 20 minutes we had dispatched all the trees leaving four stumps ready to dig up.
Here’s a couple of after photos –
The photos don’t show the full effect, but
in real life it really opens up this part of the garden and also gives the other
plants a chance to grow properly. Another unforeseen bonus - we managed to cut
up some of the trunks to use for fire wood!
Did anyone else do a little impromptu demolition over the weekend?

P.S ‘Tis
the season of reports and exam marking so posts might be a little haphazard over the next three or four weeks whilst I tackle them!
