What a glorious winters day, we spent the day cutting back two trees that were too close to the house.
We can't have trees too close to the guttering because we are on tank water and have a terrible time keeping leaves out of them.
I've taken a couple of photos one with our grandaughter sitting under them and then one with them cut down, its going to take me a while to get used to them not being there, plus the grandchildren wont be happy they can't sit under them in the summer. The trees were the canopy for the fairy garden.
I will plant other shrubs as soon as I decide what will only grow about 1 metre tall.
