I have always found them rather proud of it. I met one in a French bar, called him a monkey hanger, he was happy that his little town was so famous, this was before I spoke much French so my BiL explained the story to the locals, the French considèred it hilarious.

Orson Wells did.

Wake up, it’s happening sheeple!

By any standards, that the UK has the most deaths, especially considering how it had longer to prepare and act than France, Italy and Germany is a poor result.

I use the loop of a carters hitch with a twig to keep it in place.

It’s a beech.

We’ll do it retrospectively, I can’t see it being an issue, rural France is being depopulated for demographic reasons, even in the 15 years we’ve been here, I’ve noticed the desertification of the hamlets and small villages. Old people dying and no one wanting their houses, so they fall into disrepair and collapse.

Thanks, he’s a cabinet maker by trade, we sort of made it up as we went along. He's not a man of many words but he’s quite proud of it.

What kind of tree is this?
Mick Dempsey replied to bethhyland's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Yes, only done a few though. Poisoning straight after felling is my SOP on those. Then grinding once you’re sure it’s perished. -

Mick Dempsey replied to bethhyland's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Probably due to a recently cut down specimen in the locality. -
