We've had a few days of nice weather and decided that a good use of this was to top all the trees at home. There are quite a few trees both at the front of the house and the back. My brother was the person chosen to go up the ladder.. It took ages to do them and we had a rather large bonfire to get rid of all the brash. A few of the trees were just too big for us to tackle so a couple of friends were called in. One went up the trees with his chain saw and some rope, it's handy to know a tree surgeon! It was very interesting to watch him working, he seemed to have no fear while in the tree.

Now we've got another large pile of brash in the garden to get rid of!
