Oh willow, willow! Time for a hair-cut!

Today, seven of us from the Friends of Linda Vista Gardens, Abergavenny, tackled the annual hair-cut of the willow tunnel in the childrens' play bed, which we planted two years ago.. Or was it three? Anyway, it grows like nobody's business and ends up looking like Struwwelpeter (see picture here). Here it is before and after today's ministrations.
You can see it at its shock-headed glorious best back in September (here).
It's not the best bit of willow tunneling ever attempted, but the willow wasn't of top quality when we planted it, and anyway the kiddies love it!
