That Time of Year

Before

We have cut the hedge!  Every year we wait for the young birdies to fly the nest, then we wait for a dry weekend, then we sigh and decide we can't put it off any longer - and we get out there and cut the hedge.

After

I actually like the lane to look a bit wild, but there's wild and there's derelict-looking.

Much Tamer

Next job is to cut back the ivy from my sewing room window.  This involves moving lots of kit and kneeling on the desk to get at the window.  Each year this gets harder due to increasing amounts of clutter and increasingly dodgy knee joints.
