The tree surgeon turned up today as he promised , three bloody huge trees to take down and all are awkward and have to be climbed ....one oak ,one beech and one ash ....not cheap either ..but way beyond my remit ....as i watched ....and felt money escaping from my already vacant wallet i realized how hard these guys worked and the danger involved...my only saving grace was all the nice firewood being created and some payback....i will save some beech and oak to make stuff in the times to come...the well head for example.
On another note ....the bitchy brakes have gone....brake pipe corroded on the back axle so been fixing that or i should say my mate has ...with some unwanted help and interference from me ...i love the way i am told to fuck off in a real nice way ...followed by "put kettle on lad" do sumut useful ! that done ..."cut me some wood about 12 inc long .....how many i say.....enough to keep you in that shed for half an hour ! and out of my way.....cheeky bastard!

You do of course realise how much money Oak and Beech trees are worth if full grown and felled in one piece mate.
