Goodbye, tree...

Our Kilmarnock Willow, bought to provide some privacy at our back door, became over-exuberant this summer and threatened to take over the garden. All right, I exaggerate - but it was making too much shade. Today it left for a new home in Perthshire - filling a gap so that our friend doesn't have to look at a new building erupting in the field next door.

It was quite a job getting it, tub and all, out of the garden and onto that trailer. No, I didn't help.
