Major forestry work underway

Michael Airey

In the last week or so the foresters have been hard at work. They have cleared the trees from a wide strip at the back of the yews on both sides. It seems to me to have opened up the sky. The yews look much better without conifers behind them. Of course the Redwoods that Eric planted 40 years ago are just splendid!
