Without a hole in it.

Well I had to get the bloody tree out of the ditch,the farmer was having his sheep put out in the field & needed to get his fences up,anyway the hole was only an ity bity little hole!

So how did it get in the ditch Geof? A little woopsy with the felling?

No mate,it fell naturaly,the roots were shot to pieces,it was part of a row of oaks marking an old boundry,I think the '87' storms had given it a good nudge to starbourd,and the rot set in as it was in a ditch line,and roots had fractured,giving access to fungal decay.

It still had a fairly good head of hair,not too much die back in the crown,but she was completely over & standing on her limbs with the remenents of the base up in the air over the ditch.

An awkward thing to deal with on you own,going in blind,as I was just told to come and get the old girl out out of the way of the fence line & disc it up.

 

So not guilty this time!
