Ok, the job that saved February financially.

 

line of Thuja and a Piscea Pungens Glauca (I think) to come out, grind and replant with laurel. They weren’t tiddlers, all the size of the remainders at the end of the newly planted laurel.

Bastards to grind because of the low branches that sit in or just above the ground making the clear around fiddly.

Hard graft, and it was a bit of a hard sell to the client, but they were recently moved in and the garden was a nightmare of shade, especially in low winter sun.

Anyway everyone was happy.

In the Charente, near Angouleme.

 

Not as bad as the UK, but wetter than normal certainly.

Beautiful area, I am looking at buying a family house there in the Summer, is your wife still involved with real estate? Perhaps you could PM her company details?
