course i am, im over the worst of my big girls blouse saga! at the end of the day it was best for him, and me as it was mighty stressfull for a week seeing him coughing and gradualy losing strength. i didnt get a lot of sleep last week.

 

might as well have been a son than a dog the way i felt.

 

Thanks for asking, i take it the oak above suffered a fork failure many moons ago and had re stabalised and was begining to callous?

[John Hancock]

Many, many moons ago. It could be argued that it’s a candidate for cable bracing but there is nowhere suitable two thirds up in that crown. Maybe a gentle retrenchment perhaps in a few years…

 

She certainly seems healthy for the moment.

That fork is looking well stable john, i wouldnt wory unduly, a light reduction at worst, maybe you could encourage a natural graft? just an option for a brace between the two?

Got called out by Highways to this today, some guy decided to put his chainsaw through the tree at 2.30am this morning. Police were called and he was apparently arrested on site.

 

 

 

Been trying to think of a motive to this mindless act of vandalism…

 

 

…..then I noticed the satellite dishes directly in line to the tree.

 

County Highways are looking to prosecute.
