We had a huge pine tree, right next to the house, which was actually leaning towards the house itself. Worse than that, the roots of the tree seemed to be on top of rock, rather than stable in the ground, so it had to come down.
There is an ex-pat in the area, known as ‘Tree Darren’, who does everyone’s trees. However, he hasn’t got a digger! Ed simply pushed the whole thing over, so that the roots were ripped out of the soil, sawed off the trunk, and then picked up the roots, and shook the soil out, ready to chainsaw the whole lot up, for the fire. (Then we encountered the normal problems of getting rid of the highly flammable brash!)
Everyone here has a name to identify them, since no one has a proper address! There’s; Curry Mark (because he cooks a good curry), Electric Ian, Carpenter Joe, and a host of others. I don’t know, but I guess we are; Ed the Excavator!
