Most of you know that we live in an independent living retirement village. We can't believe that we have been here eight years now. We have never regretted our move. We have lovely neighbours and a supportive village community. We have nice public gardens and many residents have made lovely private gardens. When we bought our unit, we chose one which overlooks public gardens and the forest beyond. I love looking out of my study window to the lovely trees all different shades of green. However, a problem has occurred with one of the tallest trees in the village, which happens to be across the narrow road from our quadplex building. During the cyclone and the following strong winds, the tree was waving wildly back and forth. Recently after more wind and rain , big heavy branches fell from the tree. Luckily they fell into the garden and not any cars or buildings. Our manager employed an arborist to check on the safety of the tree and to lop dangerous branches. As much as I love trees, I would like to see this one removed. However, the council has strict rules about removing trees. After the tree doctor had been, he said it should be removed so a request and report has been lodged with the council. In the meant time a very brave tree lopper climbed the tree and removed some dangerous branches. It kept us and the neighbours entertained for the morning.
I took this photos from our balcony and against the sun.
Into the noisy hungry mulcher.
