The first was great.

The second was sheet.
I enjoy Philip K Dick stories and screen adaptations, I worked my way through "The man in the high castle" first series and there was enough banner swastikas and black Hugo Boss designed uniforms to satisfy the most ardent fan of a "golden era". I started on the second series but my sieve head had forgotten the first part of the story.

Can you get your arms around the trunk?

Yes. The tree is in a tricky position growing on a bank about five feet high, two neighbours' sheds are approximately two feet from the canopy edge, below the canopy is a newly built dry stone wall. The holly is 30 feet tall, has four trunks growing from ground level, the canopy on each of these is intertwined and it's growing about ten feet from a sycamore which has a bough growing through the holly canopy!!

We have to take this beast down piece by piece!

Morning world. Damp and breezy with a fair bit of overnight rain.

Leaving at 8.30 to meet the guys for our Monday ride. I'm trying to decide if it's wet enough to use the winter bike with its' mudguards.

Meanwhile time to fuel up on porridge.

Bonfire completed. More holly tree pruned about twice as much as yesterday. We've reached the point where we need to bring in a friend with a climbing harness. Yes this is a BIG holly tree.

Worked solidly for 8.5 hours. Nackered.
There is a row of holly tree/bushes dividing our front garden from the neighbour. It was planted by the previous neighbour. This neighbour (who does nothing to his house or garden) got the deeds out to show it is in fact our responsibility.
Keeping it looking decent is a right royal pain in the a**e.

Started young, and still going.
Good morning all. It is a bit grey outside at the moment with some showers forecast for later. After breckie the normal dog walking and domestics will be done. I should be able to get out on the bike this afternoon for a while and get some mileage in.

Morning peeps.
Been up since 0600 (so could have beaten @Mo1959 if I had wanted so ya boo sucks:tongue:).
Golf today, instead of Wednesday. Very mixed forcast so not sure what to wear, shorts or longs?? Such big decisions.
I had a drink or 2 (or 3) yesterday while watching all the sport so pleased I woke up quite fresh this morning.
Have a good day whatever you are doing.
