Before and After

A very, very unusual thing happened today - we did some gardening! We had a survey of our house done by British Gas last week, where we discovered we could get free cavity wall and loft insulation installed through some scheme or other. Great! The downside - a hydrangea climbing up our front wall would have to be removed first, before the cavity walls could be done.

So today we set about the hydrangea with my Mum's pruning tools. We pulled a few large lumps down, and sawed everything else off near the root so it would die off and then be easier to drag off. Can you see the difference? :)
