Even the one branch being removed has changed the outlook and opened the tree up. I hope this one doesn’t get struck with disease, it would change the whole outlook of our garden.

There was a famous oak tree 250 years old near where I was brought up. It was at the top of a semi urban hill with an amazing view of the river and the distant city conurbation. I had no need to use the adjacent road on a regular basis but one day the tree wasn't there. I found out later that it had developed a disease and had to be cut down, quite devastating really. On the other hand I remember being taken to Sherwood Forest (still haven't posted that) and seeing the Oak propped up with pillars and chains. What a shocking / upsetting day for you.

On second glance Mr C changed his mind, but it didn't stop in sight long enough to be identified. The local newspaper doesn't give a very comprehensive article on the event so it is not mentioned there. Hiring a Vulcan for a private party is impressive ;-) Initially we thought it might be a hurricane. On second glance Mr C changed his mind, but it didn’t stop in sight long enough to be identified.

Some of the branches span the bridle path where people walk and cycle. A similar thing happened to a cherry blossom tree near to a house I used to live in. The local council came and took it upon themselves to firstly trim it and ruin its shape and then they chopped it down all together. There was no need for them to do this!! I am glad you enjoyed my travels in Lincoln :-) It is good that no one was hurt. Some of the branches span the bridle path where people walk and cycle.

It is getting another battering from the wind today. The removal of the branch has opened it up letting more light through. It is getting another battering from the wind today.

The tree has a preservation order on it. I am sure that they will have done a good job. The tree has a preservation order on it.

I'm sure the tree will replenish it's missing branch with some new shoots. We've had an apple blossom tree cut down by the local 'jobsworth.' It wasn't planted properly in the first place so it was leaning over, precariously towards a bus stop, which could have been dangerous for passengers waiting for a bus. It was planted about 20 years ago, at the time I cold see that it was planted at an angle. I did contact the council about it, but they chose to ignore me...thus. instead of sending somebody to replant it, they waited 20 years until it was fully grown and bearing the most beautiful blossoms each year, then hacked it down.... We've got to wait until the stump is removed and another sapling is put in it's place. I miss my tree! I enjoyed reading about Lincoln Cathedral and the wonderful snapshots, best wishes, Di xx At least the branch didn’t land on anyone and injure them.
