The ash tree comes down

Having caused so much aggravation the day finally arrived for it to come down.  One man spent a couple of hours swinging round in the top of the tree dropping branches one at the time, a truly skilled job.

All the smaller branches went int a shredder so our whole garden now has a good covering of top quality ash chippings.

For the final drop the landrover took a line down the plot while Richard, Anne, Grandad, the neighbours and I stood by nervously. No problems.
Just a small pile to deal with now.
