A few weeks ago one of our very freindly neighbours, Pete, said 'you might want to get the ivy taken off your tree because it was swaying a bit in the wind the other day'. Imagine the excitement when. after a particularly blustery weekend part of the tree at the bottom of the garden got fed up with standing alongside the rest of the tree and started to lean abit to the left. Clearly something was awry. Our neighbour's (not Pete) fence was also in danger of being demolished (in Stratton this rates as a major natural distaster waiting to happen). The men from the emergency tree surgery task force were quick to respond to our distress call. Getting at the tree was a bit tricky and we had to rope in our new freind Fi's driveway but the gallant lads from Cotswold Estates did a fine job. We were a bit worried that the whole tree would have to come out, but luckily not. However we now have a big gap in our hedge (and can see the houses at the bottom of the garden) and a big pile of firewood.
