Woodman, Spare That Tree....

....( for those spring chickens amongst you who have never heard it, that is the title of an old Phil Harris song, if I knew how to do it I would have attached a link ).
Just by chance I happened to look out of the bedroom window at the back of the house and noticed a workman cutting branches off the tree.  At first I thought he was going to cut more of it, which would have been a shame, but then I realised that the ones he was cutting were overhanging a busy main road on the one side and the bus stop on the other.  I suppose they were becoming dangerous and I am sure the tree will soon heal.  For most of you watching a man in a tree would be boring, but believe me that counts as excitement in my life :-))
