It's most definitely a hazel. Structural engineers are for structures. Arboriculturalists are for trees. If you have highly shrinkable clay soil, you might want to consider a root barrier of sorts. If your soil is less shrinkable, you could probably plant an elm next to your front door and not have a worry. As said, you should get a consultant in and take it from there.

A gadge with a black eye sits down at an airport bar and gets himself a pint. When he looks round he sees that the guy next to him also has a black eye. After a cursory nod, he asks him how he got the black eye. Bloke says: 'Slip of the tongue.' Gadge says: 'Aye, mine was from a slip of the tongue too, what's the story?' Bloke: 'Well I wanted two tickets to Pittsburgh but the lass on the counter was canny well endowed and I accidentally asked for "Two pickets for Tittsburgh", hence the eye. What about you?' Gadge: 'I'd just sat down for breakfast with the missus, I meant to say "could you pass the toast?", instead I said "You fucking bitch, you ruined my life".

@westphalianThere were two windturbines in a field. One asked the other 'Hey mate, what kind of tunes are you into?' He replied 'I'm a heavy metal fan'.

Logwood conveniently cut to fit in the boot of a car. Nice one Bob, the world needs more people who think like you do.

I reckon old too. Would probably call it a B1, though I'd prefer it to be an A3. http://www.flac.uk.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Table-1_flac.pdf

Aye, but there'll also be equally grim winters.

Whack an AI module in there. What could possibly go wrong... What I consider to be the most spooky, is that the makers of the robot have done their best to make it 'Human', with mannerisms that make it acceptable. Kiss yer job goodbye. :

As a CAD technician, you could massively supplement your short-term income by finding a consultancy who deals with BS 5837 and doing a day here and there. You could do it in your sleep. Though, I'd understand if you wanted to leave that behind. When I did a national diploma a decade ago, there was a shit hot rock climber on my course. He struggled initially to let go of the tree as it went against his training. He was canny once he learned to climb in 3D. As a fell runner, you'll do whatever is in front of you. Good luck mate.

It's a Baobab Plane by the looks of it. http://elmparadise.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-baobab-planes-of-canterbury.html -
It's fun running a 576 with a 15" bar and 8 tooth sprocket.

Excellent photos. I particularly like the stack of Ganoderma.
