My neighbor has chopped down most of his overhanging branches today. No wandering 30ft up the road to help myself. It's hell here I tell you :rotfl: A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

Not worth it now Tilly - unless we have an Indian summer there are only 4 figs left to pick!
