felled poplar treesCharlie the tree climber and his mate came this morning and took down the two poplar trees ('widowmakers' as Charlie called them).

There were 40 of them in all.Hay bales leaving

We're getting obsessive about watching the weather radar and calculating how soon it will be before we get rain and how long it might last. At the moment we're down to nine inches of water in our cistern, which is effectively only four inches if you take off the width of the outlet pipe. Both wells are dry so I'll be trying to learn how to do a rain-dance soon.
