In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

Hello Mr Gand.How nice to hear from you.It's been a few years my friend.Hopefully you will see in 2021..there is no hurry.And in the meantime I am forging ahead here.The latter part of this year has seen me going out on a limb and doing my own thing.

Good to hear from you Paul. It certainly has been a few. It's been a very different year for me, now I've given up the climbing and working for the local shop, it's felt good passing on some of my experience on to younger generation. It's not just been the younger lot though. Hopefully APF will happen and I'll see you there 👍

I have known this tree all of my life as it grows at the top of our street.I was asked to take on the work subject to planning and a meeting with the tree officer.It took several months to get the go ahead due to lockdown etcetera.I organised the whole thing and it set me up for a few more jobs off the back of it.It was a great feeling overlooking the neighbourhood.

One of those moments when you feel as if life is right on track.

And that single job has led to a whole different kind of work which doesn't necessarily involve a chainsaw.But still has some pretty cool kit.

With a whole new perspective...

And the comms came in very useful for both learning about what I was looking and via mobile getting information on assisting the ecologist.

Fascinating work and great watching and learning.

So whilst I am waiting for the big journey I have plenty of interesting things booked in.I used 2020 as a springboard.I,ve missed seeing my Grandchildren and my routine at the gym but have made the most of what I have been able to do.
