Been in the garden most of the day. It's been lovely. When we first moved here the neighbours told us how much they hated the large flowering cherry tree in our garden because of the petal drop. A few weeks ago we got a man in to cut it down. We mentioned it to the neighbours and asked if they wanted him to take down the large white flowering cherry tree in their garden, which they hate because of the petal drop.
They said not as they had did not have much money due to the 60k extension they had just had added onto their house.
We paid Pete the bee and his three lads £60.00 to take down our 40 foot tree. They chopped it up into manageable bits, brilliant job and IMO incredibly cheap.
Daft neighbour who is a wimp at the best of times has spent most of the day running up and down a ladder up his 40' cherry tree with a pair of tree loppers and a saw. He cuts bits off, comes down shreds a bit then stands back, walks around the tree a bit, ponders, huffs a lot then goes back up his ladder and cuts off a bit more. No safety equipment. His wife went out and left him to it. He has afforded us much amusement and is as far as I know still alive. The bloke is an out and out tosser to be sure.
