At last the patio has been suitably christened. We put out the new table and chairs (bought last Easter in anticipation of having somewhere to use them, but kept in storage for a year), and cracked open a bottle (not French Champagne, but sticking to our usual principals of eating and drinking all things English, English Sparkling Wine).
Today it was back to work on the next phase, laying a path round the house to link the patio to the front of the house. We've a deadline to meet as we're committed to hosting a big family party in June. No time now for sitting around in the sun - which it turns out is not always possible. An Elder bush has been spreading and casts an unwelcome shadow over the patio in the early evening.
So here's where today's title comes in - Henry did what he called "a bit of light pruning". But it involved a chainsaw (and suitable safety equipment of course), and now the tree is a heap of logs.
I'm sorry there's no dramatic photographs - but nothing could surpass the link below.
