18th July: Lumberjacks

So to clear some space, create more light and get a load of sticks we can use we got the ok to cut down some trees. In the first picture Dave is showing off some improvised head protection after cutting down the tree in the right hand corner of the allotment. In the second picture you can see one and a half trees cut down in the left corner. Originally we wanted to cut them all down completely to maximise the light since the trees block the sun out for half the day, but it seems a shame to cut down the big tree so we decided instead to just thin out the branches at the top. Aren't we kind!

He's a lumberjack and he's okay (he sleeps all night and he works all day)
