ouch

[Matthew Arnold]

I found a Hornet nest the other week dropping a severely split poplar. It was very rotten and the split ran almost to the base so bracing was out of the question. As i made the gob cut i was aware of a few milling around but didnt know where they were coming from. I proceded as normal but as the tree fell i was aware of even more of the big sods flying around. I still didnt worry. The only time i realised i was in the crap was when my colleague yelled to me and said run as my back was covered in them. I ran to the nearest watersource (a big river) and jumped in with all of my clothes on. I now know how difficult it is to swim in chainsaw trousers n boots.
