Welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked and share some of that love. If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’re here.
Yesterday we finally got our trees cut. It’s been a while, and it’s been another while trying to find someone to do them. Our usual tree surgeon retired during Covid, and to be honest they were already due a cut back then. Joining forces with our neighbour, who also wanted some tree work done, paid off in the end - between us we found someone that would come and quote when they said they would, who’d put in the necessary paperwork with the council and actually turn up and do the work.
But what a day for it - the hottest day of the year so far - though today is forecast to be warmer. Between myself, my next door neighbour, the neighbour at the back and the garage shop we were keeping the team of six hydrated. It’s a seriously hard day’s work, between them they cut ten trees of varying sizes, and cleared up too. That’s the really hard part!
Our fruiting cherry tree was just starting to ripen, and they were appreciated by them too. I even managed to get a colander full as they assured me they were mostly ripe - we’ll see!
