I think it may be best to console yourself with the thought of how well
hedgerows grow back after such massacres! Others have said more and better
but I doubt you'll find it an altogether lost cause. A builder trampled
heavily and stupidly on one of our variegated leaf Fuchsias when it was a
very small plant and we despaired of its survival. Four years on it's going
to need a pretty serious hair cut soon!

You're right, Sacha. I actually get on very well with the Mayor and know most
of the council, but I can only imagine the blank looks I'd get if I complained. The
damage is done, now to move on to other vegetal tragedies: our dog ran over
a little maple and snapped it to bits yesterday, that I've been babying in a pot
for 3 years and finally decided to put in ground. It wasn't in the earth for 3 minutes...
Such is life in the garden!
