People are relaxing I feel and still some wear masks for their protection but really they are more for protecting others .
No sign of flu or Covid boosters at our surgery yet.
I have some Lombardy apices in my front garden.
About three feet high ,planted seven years ago.
Now - well were a good twelve feet high .
I had been meaning to get them lopped ,wel on Thursday I was in thr front garden when a white van pulled up and a man got out and said would I like him to lol them for me , I asked the price and he said £60 and all rubbish removed. my son said he would do it ,a week or so ago but has not got round to doing it. There was so much to move it would have taken about three journeys to the tip plus all the spiders etc that would creep,out.
To get a local rubbish remover would Cost £35 per load to move that
amount .
I know these opportunist people can be dodgy so said I would ask my son and would see what he thought, son said OK,but that is all we want doing .
The man said - he could see it - that my Dogwood was overgrown and he’d do that too but I refused as it needs pruning not just lopping and that is better done when the leaves have gone .
Son said O.K then just the front garden trees .
They had all the right ladders etc but only used long loppers .
But no name on the van .——
Then later I thought what if there had been an accident !
Son was quite forceful and said remember we don’t want the Dogwood
doing !
It looks much better.
However they did most of it from outside the fence ,and I think it was a bargain .
But you have to be very careful don’t you.
I seem to have got rather mixed up in my last post- it doesn’t take much these days .
Thanks for your continuing kind wishes folks, they are much appreciated , especially as many of you have worries and problems of your own.
Well a good day today ,got a good bit done .
Best wishes to all who are troubled , I do think about you .
Cheerio. Viktoria.
