It was such a lovely fine and warm afternoon and the car park was looking full as it's the half term holidays

Two rather unhappy dogs upstairs on the balcony

as  Jim had decided it was the right day to do some treework as we had a big branch hanging over the footpath and the dogs were therefore not allowed into the garden

Unfortunately he also noticed this split in quite a big branch and I'm afraid that's a job for Tree Wise

 The storms have really taken their toll on the big Pine Trees as well. They are looking very bare on the seawards side, wonder if the Crows will want to find a better spot for their nest this year
