Garden haircut


At my instigation, Philip got three men in today to prune by half the trees round the deck. When we bought the place, the bushes were so thick you couldn't see through them, but recently I'd noticed that at night you could see the lights of the house at the back.  So we got advice and decided to prune back hard.  Thankfully, all that has been exposed is more trees further down the hillside. Soon new twigs and leaves will appear and thicken the screen.

I laughed at your encounter with the young man on the bus, Winifred.  I must say, in our local area, bus behaviour is exceptionally good.  Without exception, school kids offer adults a seat and every single person thanks the driver when they get off.  No feet on seats problems, as the seats are too close together!
