Saturday afternoon, and the tree surgoen ( who was expected on Tuesday ) arrives. The huge collapsing conifer is still of an undefined species, but needs a seriuos haircut. He will have to see how things are once hes removed the part thats collapsed, before deciding if the whole lot needs to come down. This would be a real pity as the tree looks like its been there for many years, and is very twisted and gnarled, has real character, only I dont fancy it falling over completely. The tree guy says he will return to do the job in about four weeks time. By my reckoning (considering that Tuesday turned into Saturday )that will be done in about November.
I had a walk around the fields today with Ruby ( who felt she needed to chase the ball ). The snowdrops are finished, the daffs are in full bloom, and around the edges of the fields are plenty of seludine ( yellow) and sweet violets ( purple ) . So pretty. Most surprising of all was that about two or three acres away from any houses, there are some pink primroses growing . How did they get there ? Wild primroses are yellow. Well who knows.
