A Englishman in New Zealand

It's usually the spines deeper into the palms that cause the aggro. It's mainly from bird and rat faeces that cause the infections. The spines punch the bacteria deep under the skin and the puncture wounds can get badly infected. If the spine breaks off in the wound they can move. Had a mate that had one work its way across his hand. No idea how.

First job for the year- just a wee storm damaged willow tree. The guys aren't back til the 9th so I went and did it myself (the mrs supervising in the ute)

 

We'll be back next week to tidy it up.

 

What are people's thoughts about working alone?

Ha that's great I acutely do these in torquay in Devon to and have to pull up the crown as well and wrap then. I look like some sort of self harmer by the end of the day. How are you finding New Zealand I'm looking to move out there next year with my family?
