3 out of 6

R collected us on her way home from work last night, whilst S was cooking our Danish dinner which comprised of pork, potatoes, vegetables and parsley sauce. S is a gem with the herbs and spices, his meals are always flavoursome and so different to mine. It was most enjoyable to sit and chat. The last time we were there for dinner was for B’s birthday at the end of April.

The tree man was back this lunchtime to clear and shred some of the branches from yesterday’s work. I asked him if he  planned to take any more off the tree next to our fence. The short answer was no, for a variety of reasons. But, when I asked nicely and pointed out a couple of very long willowy branches which were in smacking distance of our roof and side of the house when it’s windy, he agreed with me and chopped them off.
