"Pruning"

I was out visiting some good friends and we had a fairly productive morning followed by a great lunch and lazy afternoon.

My experineces with garden pruning have usually been accompanied by repeated requests for a chainsaw to be added to my mother's Christmas list.

It took me a while to place the technique Ray was using, but it seemed more appropriate to your local salon than the garden... and it was hardly as straightforward as a short back and sides :-)

However... job done.
