The tree surgeon.

That time of year again, and it comes around so fast.  I hate J going up the ladder, and I am so relieved when it's done. I was the sweeper upper, and the general dogs body (nothing new there) A  lot of people walking past, stop to tell J how well he trims the trees, which is a nice compliment. We finished by lunch time, and stopped for a coffee & a sandwich ,then we went up the tip to get rid of the waste. We didn't have to wait too long, thank goodness, and when we got back we had a cup of tea in the garden. Only the inside of the trees to be trimmed now but that is much easier, and we don't get disturbed.  A very satisfying morning's work.
