Jonny's JobThis is Jonny doing his job with "Bulldozer" Bob. Great team. We had a few larches that were growing a bit tall and were close to the house. Everytime we had a windy day, and we have a few here, I was slightly nervous, to say the least. We called these guys in, we know their work and knew they were good. Yesterday (Wednesday 16 January) they arrived and within half an hour this tree was down. The funny thing is, I looked out of the window as it fell, and it was heading for the house, I screamed, covered my face, sure he had made a big mistake - it came down and stopped short by about 2 foot max!! . The most annoying thing? - I wasn't outside taking pictures! By the time I got there, he was already chopping it up.

I can understand the feeling of missing a photo opportunity! It's good you're doing something about the trees - I live in a rural village, and the long road leading up to my street (which actually runs along the back of my house and our neighbours) is lined with tall trees, and there's the forest plantation opposite - lots of trees for damage. And no streetlights. Which is why 2 nights ago, I was walking along in the dark and my foot clonked hard against a mammoth branch - like 10 feet long and heavy weight. Must have fallen down, and luckily someone did their best to line it along the path, rather than across it, but still - people run along that pavement in the dark, trusting there'll be nothing more than leaf debris and possibly dog poo!
That is a great "job" shot! Your heart must have nearly stopped when you saw that tree falling towards you!
