It will take some pros to get that beautiful tree out of the snag with no damage to the fence. Please keep us informed. I am crossing my fingers for good luck to you and your neighbor.
The world moves in mysterious directions.
Four big lads turned up in a couple of electricity board 4x4’s, from my former company. No names. No pact drill.

Not even ones I knew from the old Derby, or Nottingham districts. They were from Northampton? Apparently they happened to “just be” in the area, helping the local lads restore the electric in some of the surrounding area, and they had heard about the tree down. I have a vague idea about how they came to know, as I sent a picture to some mates on the shoot where I used to be a beater.

That is another few months worth of wood drying, for the cost of a few pints.
