    Neatly trimmed bush?

    Regular readers will be familiar with my admiration for a well maintained bush.

    Sadly, this does not extend to getting the trimmers out for my own unruly specimen.

    However, as I sit here in the office looking out across the locality, I can't help but be awestruck by one chap's valiant attempt to wrangle his own untamed wilderness. It's quite something to behold... seriously, it's over 100 feet long and over 7 feet high. Quite spectacular in its verdant barbarity in any other setting.

    It took him and his eldest three full days to contain it last year.

    Good luck to him I say... I'd have burnt it to the ground before now, but I'm not known for my patience with such things.

    Take care if using power tools. You wouldn't want to cut off more than you intended. My own 'back garden' bush has gone a bit wild, but is a haven for all sorts of interesting wildlife.

      Thank God that you're still here. The tone seems to have changed significantly since my last stint.

            I should really give an update on this searing topic: it took this chap 4 days of hard graft to complete the necessary trimmage. Now neighbour opposite has had his own, similarly sized, bushy display groomed in under 2 hours.

            Always hire a professional folks.
