Little Changes

Last year we had a few box bushes that did not get shaped. Somehow they just got missed. I thought the chance of getting them back into a formal shape again had passed, so I suggested to Brian that we leave them and let them grow, but he knew I preferred them shaped. So out came his hedge trimmer and off he went to try and reshape them. I was surprised at how easily they came back. Once he had cut some of the weighty branches away they pulled together into a much tighter form again. I think he made a remarkable job of it.

Whilst we were in a change mode, we decided the dead fir tree by the pool needed to go. I was reluctant to take it out as I liked the height it gave, and was waiting to see what we could replace it with, but actually I was quite pleased once it was gone, as it really opened up the view.

A few minutes later and he was dragging it down the hill, and two more little jobs were ticked off the list.
