The stand of scraggly old pines across the road are being culled by the council.
Apparently they are a danger to the community, due to the possibility of them keeling over onto the road. My husband is very excited, there is nothing that appeals to his noir side more than bleak cityscapes and a glimpse of motorway. Plus, they drop noxious sap onto his luvverly new Volvo. I am outraged, though, like the Lorax. I have threatened to chain myself to the topmost branches but Simon is surprisingly unbothered. It’s a shame the weather has been so inclement. Plus, I’m not sure where I would source suitable chains from? And, would any injuries be covered by ACC? I may have to settle for glowering at any arborists I see. I’m sure they’ll soon get the message.
