One tree saved but 2 others - - have to go!

With the Laburnum in the front garden teetering at an angle but thankfully resting against a 3 inch fence post we decided to add another on the northern side to help support it.

The idea was to dig a hole a couple of feet deep and then set a post in quick setting concrete before pulling the tree upright and securing it

So there we are all secure now.  This is the second Laburnum we have had fall (almost) over the ground is not to rocky and we cant imagine why the roots don't appear to go down deep enough to keep it upright.  Fingers crossed now!

We always talk about the weather here in UK but here's a bit of a horror story from Siberia +30c one day followed by a snowstorm the next - - great video.

Here is a bloke who earns £50k a year and lives in a £300k flat but we're paying for his flat!!!!!  This is because he's a a beggar  He sits on his arse all day with the obligatory dog on a string and cons people out of their hard earned money!!!

Mind you this story takes some beating here is a woman who is suing the police because they wont let her be a WPC She "forgot" to mention that she had a conviction for stealing when she became a Police Community Support Officer.  She then gets the boot when the the conviction comes to light. But claims to have "amnesia" about just that single fact in her life and a judge even supports that she was "disabled" when she filled in the form, forgetting about the conviction!!! - - - -

An amusing article which is costing us billions is covered by sky news in this article showing that Useless public sector projects cost 120 billion £s    Scary really that these "buffoons" are allowed to squander our hard earned cash!

Finally  - - - this years "big trees are exposed and ready to be felled.  Here's a pic of the area before I started

Here's the area before I began thinning out the trees in front of the couple of large ones I was after felling.

I finally cleared all the hawthorn trees/bushes in the way and here they are exposed ready for felling there are 2 Oak on the left and an Ash on the right.

The Ash is a lot bigger than it looks in the pic and I will drop that one first before having a go at the Oak

Enjoy the day
