Yesterday it was good old 'Gordy''s day for grovelling and contrition, today it is me. Oops, one of yesterday's pictures may just have been a dandelion...(ok, certainly is) but I blame no one but my advisors, it's a disaster!
I really must start using my reading glasses!
Up at my Mother's cottage is a large holly hedge, probably 100ft long and 7ft high by 8ft wide.
For years now I have been threatening to reduce the width by half to make the cutting easier. Finally a couple of weeks ago I got the chainsaw out and did the deed and dam-near killed myself in the process! This burst of of frustration fuelled activity resulted in a huge pile of holly to dispose of and me exhausted!
Today the madness returned and I decided to burn all the cuttings.
As usual there was an appreciative if critical audience...
Still lots to tidy and the hedge is to clip properly and a new fence to put up.....
By the way, if you too suffer from M.E., GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THE JOB!
But was it a bigoted dandelion?
ReplyDeleteI bet holly burns well, and 8ft wide is way too big for a hedge, so a good job well done... even if it did nearly kill you!
ReplyDeleteWith that much Holly being burnt I'm surprised you're not suffering from Prickly Heat!
