Unusually I wasn’t looking forward to coming home this evening and when I arrived my worst fears were realised… I wonder if the tree surgeons will be back tomorrow they seem to have missed a branch!! The birds that usually flit and fly around the tree seemed rather confused and were flying around at low level in among the greenery in my garden. I hope I didn’t disturb them too much when I was out taking a few photographs.
There is a small positive note in that I will now be able to see stunning sunsets as I sit at my computer which in recent years had been concealed by branches and foliage. Exchanging one beauty for another…
Oh my God!!!… your poor Oak tree…
sorry about that Cherie… but i do like the sky in the last photo!

It has opened up the possibility of some fabulous sunsets in the autumn.
Some twigs survive to grow another day. Libations to the garden nymphs might help.
I will have to go and talk to it
is this done by regulation? or is there owner’s consent involved? your comment about the confused birds was very interesting.
Well the council had been brought in to look at it after a branch fell a few weeks ago. But I am not convinced the work has been done to regulation. The tree was healthy and had a preservation order on it!
Is this when we say “when one door closes, another opens?”
It has certainly opened up a window into the sky. I have not got used to it yet.
Someone please rescue that poor tree, the ivy is strangling it!
The ivy isn’t doing the tree any harm which is more than can be said for those chopping the tree down.
This gets worse and worse, Cherie – poor tree, poor you, poor environment
It is awful isn’t it. I am hoping will start to grow again.
Wow, that seems a bit radical.
It is rather severe!
