Easy life today, an hours drive to a job I’d priced on a photo, maiden lime to take out. Felled it in one, leave chip and wood on site.

 

Back on the sofa by 1pm

If only everyday was like that...

 

Never mind, an ideal job to ease into the weekend

Gawd knows how much, property sure is cheap here, and the désertification of rural France (by which I mean the population is leaving for the towns) means it’s not getting any more expensive.

 

Doing them up is pricey however, which is where a lot of plans go awry.

Few pines and a sweet chestnut

Finished some dirty Pop re-pollards today

Been walking around 10 acres of Woodland looking at storm damaged trees but came across this bad boy. Shame it’s not summer but I never come across Black Poplars and was in awe of this specimen.

Some recent ones.

Decent sized ash stump to grind, that the guys took down a few weeks back "found" 4 rugby ball sized rocks in the stump.

2 pops to get on the deck ASAP before too much commotion/press turned up

One or 2 avenue trees to prune

Nice pics of the pops in front of the flats in the mist.
