Trees Down

The tree surgeons arrived with six guys shortly after 8am this morning.  By 9:30am the trees were down, three of them had left to go to another job and the remaining three were struggling to get their grinder working.  The videos show the trees coming down.

They made light work of our precariously angled holly, and the silver birch didn't take much longer.  This second video is taken from the community garden. 

 

We would rather not take the trees down, but both of them are responsible for damaging the fence and we have to keep the fence in good repair - mainly to keep Brody from exploring places he shouldn't.  At least the wood will get used.  The trunk and larger logs have been left for the community garden people to make into benches.
