Down with the Hedge

As you've probably gathered by now, we have a lot of hedges - and the golden leylandii at the back of the garden was one we'd probably neglected a bit.

So a couple of months ago Martin decided he'd bring it back under control.  From this (mid-July) . . .















. . . to this (by the end of August) . . .















. . . and finally, to this (earlier today):

It's all looking much neater now - but it was a major job (the field next door is stacked with the debris, drying out ready for a bonfire in the future, and some of the larger branches will be turned into proper firewood).

Just need to make sure we keep on top of it in the future!
