The day before this, whilst I was up at mum's, Simba had chomped down on that hand Paul is reaching out with.
And when I met him on site, down on the ground with us mortals after felling this magnificent beech, he was as gentlemanly and chipper as ever and always.
[ I was thinking of calling this 'job swap?' ]
In stunned admiration of you all. Thanks loads for the logs, a great day, and for your friendship, Paul, Paul and Rob.
(we owe you the beers ;-)
The day was great, and the felling, a good one. This sycamore in Os's town park had root rot where it had — with all that huge healthy weight above — cut the legs from underneath the tree's stability.
Just brilliant to see that many people out and about playing and sunbathing in the park again in the bright warm sunshine.
This is the other Paul —who i believe has has not been bitten recently by Simba — sawing up the massive trunk into rounds, then quarters, for us to take away and season for a year or two.
Huge thanks again Paul, Paul and Rob :-)
So pleased to see Simon back when he came to lop the trees at the bottom of our garden.
He had a fall at work, spending 10 days in hospital and 10 months off work in recovery.
He told me that during this time and out of sheer boredom he started a small business milling and crafting wood to make cheese boards, table tops etc.
I look forward to visiting his stall at a local indoor market and seeing some of his pieces.
Can you spot the man working amongst the fallen branches? I couldn’t resist grabbing this shot on my phone yesterday whilst out walking with the children and dog.
Did not expect to see this , a huge oak tree with a TPO I thought , all of a sudden at the mercy of the chain saw . I know there was a claim to have it removed only to be hit with a back lash with a save the tree petition and all had gone quiet . Then though , we see this and by the afternoon there is only a stump about three feet high now !!

This is somewhere on my photostream, but I've reworked it, and it's far better than the original version. Also taken a long time ago.
Better viewed large, and thank you for your favourites. :)

What it is really , tree surgeons taking down a tree in sections ( 2 or 3 foot at a time ) - by the time I walked back after getting only half a dozen items the tree was down to a 4 foot stump .
In the picture below you can see the guy taking five before slicing another chunk of tree from the top and then just and pushing it off and down to the ground below . good job nobody is just standing around down below !!
Looking close on Friday theme: Tree bark
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Very sadly, this once-beautiful willow tree lost the battle against a harsh winter and is now as dead as a dodo. The tree surgeons will be coming to give it the final rites. It's terribly sad as I love willow trees and especially a willow tree which has a swing hanging from one of its branches! The child in me immediately went on it to check it out. Fortunately (and surprisingly) it held my weight. Perhaps we might get the tree surgeon to leave the tree trunk above where the swing is. Will have to seek someone else's opinion on that. I think the 'someone else' though is expecting it all to come down. We shall see. :-)
Just a family shot. After a visit from the tree surgeon this three year old "mixed and matched" his toys and clothes to make a very credible tree surgeon's outfit. Perhaps the plastic pliers and screwdriver in his workbelt weren't quite right and a great part of the morning was spent retracing our steps looking for tools that had dropped out. We made a game of the search and eventually got everything home safely. No trees or bushes were hurt in the shooting of this adventure. (Otterspool twin sisters hawthorns.)
the Golf course is usually very good at maintenance so there must have been a good reason for this felling: we'll miss it!

'Our' tree surgeon (an ex-pupil!) and his customised tractor. Front axle from an American army truck (to give 4-wheel drive) and auxiliary tank for the hydraulics. The basic machine is a Fordson, if I remember correctly. He has spoken of adding a cab - must be getting soft in his old age!
Poor quality picture, but posted for interest value.

Every winter we have the trees near the stream at the bottom of our garden trimmed: hazel, alder and silver birch. This is mostly for the benefit of our neighbours whose light they begin to obscure if left to grow too much.
Yesterday was the day this year. Dave is about 25 feet up in the silver birch tree, nothing to an experienced tree surgeon but I was still careful not to distract him. When I loaded the shot up to my laptop I thought the focus underneath the chainsaw was rather unexpectedly bad but then realised it is a small cloud of coarse sawdust falling down.
