It's a cherry on its last legs. You could leave it and wait for it to fall to bits or take off the top ~2/3 and leave the stem for habitat; it's in very poor condition so would be good for that. It may even sprout some new growth as a reaction but don't get too excited if it does. Sorry!

? 🤔

You certainly have! Out of interest can you remember what happened to those lumps I brought back from Devon for you? Jon

...or grub it out and put in a new 2m specimen that can become a tree-shaped tree. They grow like there's no tomorrow

I guess you're looking for Jo-ce Metal belonging to Laurie Buckingham in Wadhurst, Kent. When I last spoke to Laurie in 2012 he was retired and made me one more frame as a paid favour as I already had two! And yes, they're brilliant if you have numerous straight lengths of cord to cut.

Pollarding - no problem. Years ago I took all the branches off the top of a 10' stem because the tree had been hugely shaded on one side by a pine. The Tulip came back really well, sending up three scaffold branches I suppose you'd call them. Sadly two of them were very close to each other and developed an included union which failed in a storm, the split breaching the pollard point and dividing the stem to within 3 feet of the ground.

Make up your mind - who are you?! 😂 -
Absolutely superb and what a great place for nature it will be when grown back with all those trees in it. Shame about the riff raff trees behind 🤣

Been planting some new woodland stuff; Corylopsis and Hamamelis (dark red flower, not scented). Elsewhere in the garden Viburnum plicatum and a very small Drimys

Our bluebells are very late - a neighbour's 50yds away are in full flower - but we have the ample compensation of a good show of wood anemones for now

That looked like mighty hard work! Anyway - been meaning to ask - how's the songwriting going?! 😅

The arrogance of the PO in pursuing the matter years ago is unbelievable. Anyone could see that there was something obviously very wrong going on and I don't mean the postmasters. Dozens of lifetime honest, hardworking folk suddenly filching thousands of pounds from the PO and being arrogant enough themselves to think they'd get away with it? It had 'this is just wrong; the software needs close examination' all over it yet the PO shut its eyes and ploughed on. Terrible for the victims, inexcusable by the PO.

At the point in discussion the guy's just getting in the car; he's not at the wheel, engine running. Of course we don't know his intentions but at that stage and with three on one there's no need to panic - especially with 26 years service behind you! Be alert, be ready for anything yes - jump on him but don't get carried away.

Not worth the risk. All fine (from the operators' point of view) until there's a head-on beside their truck; then - oops.

I'll mark the lawn out in 6" squares and aim for two a day 🤣

Sounds like the stones are a gimmicky substitute for a knuckle, end of a finger or even an elbow pressed into the knot. the tighter the knot the more it hurts until... sweet release!

Take it while it lasts Eggs - tomorrow it'll be back to the usual bitching and backstabbing 😂

I'm glad you found a temporary cure even if you don't know which bit of the beautician's pummelling - how much did that cost you bad boy?! - sorted it. I still think that next time the issue arises you should see a chiro/osteo and suggest a cervical vertebra issue (dunno where I got cerebral vertebra from previously!). At least they could confirm/deny it for you
-
Numb arms is something for which you should seek professional advice: it often stems from misaligned cerebral vertebrae - I forget which ones. Please don't go adjusting your own neck; if you knacker C2-3 joint you'll stop breathing!

Hello @farmer rod It's been a while; how are you? Jon

Defining your 'local area' might help! Good luck with it
