clearing around the lime trees

 these lime trees look a lot happier with the offshoots cut away and with a bit of pruning the should take of nicely in the spring
 they were probably planted by the current owners grandfather, picking the flowers for 'tisane' used to be a majour industry here.
 this tree trunk has been lying around for a few years we cut into it to see if it was still good for firewood ,it seems ok despite a few ants
 the trailer loaded up with firewood
no activity at the new camera site

  1. Hi Paul, I had a very large sycamore tree fall down a week ago in some very high winds, which makes your trees look small. It had gone rotten inside, but is now being cut into logs by locals who are willing to do it for a share of the logs.
    All the best Dianexx
