Tree surgey


We attacked the bottom of Grandma’s garden with a vengeance yesterday.  She wanted Andy to take drastic action on a tree growing out of the 15 foot high retaining wall below. But in order to get to the tree, dense ivy, galvanised mesh and several posts had to be tackled first.  It took 9 sacks of green waste, a reviving cuppa and the removal of numerous deeply embedded staples before Andy was able to “go over the top” and dispatch the tree, his ancient Whillans harness coming into its own as he belayed himself onto a post with a sling.
