Hah!!! You didn't tell me you had visited my garden today!!! We have
a ladder against an Acacia which was being pruned.

We have had 7 silver birch professionally felled, you should have seen
the damage to them, it was awful. When the snow has cleared, next
year maybe - I will post some pics. No more trees for us that are
flimsy, nothing survives here - only the strongest.


I would have grave misgiving with that ladder perched on that branch like
that/! To my eye it looks like if it fell it would land straight on the
greenhouse!!


Its actually quite a distance away, at least three ladder lengths. I started
putting lights on that tree but snow stopped play!
