Trepidation Justified

Trepidation was just about right. ONN wielded the chain saw most of the weekend. With many comments and helpful hints from WOONN. (Think he got a trifle irritated by them in view of what he said on a couple of occasions.) Their garden is transformed - and not altogether in an artistic way. The victorian laurel has had its skirts cut up to about 6 feet and its top lopped off too. Similarly several other plants - With varying degrees of success. Others have been cut down altogether and one or two left as they were. Consequently the garden is full of black holes in which nothing is growing and with odd things sticking up like disjointed fingers. Don't think she likes it much. (Myself forsees Big Expenditure on specialists to put it to rights.)

Several workmen arrived early this morning but not to assist with the garden. Brought with them a big digger and made a trench around the fences. Put in doggy proof wire. (She remembers the chicken that was attacked and is determined the 2 dogs will not get out Do It Again.)
