[A bit like moving furniture and then running into it in the dark!]<br />I hope you've had a day of recuperating after such strenuous labor. I still carry wood into the house a few pieces at a time, but I think my days of heaving chunks into the back of the truck for transport are done.<br />I have tried before to sort the difference between ash trees and rowan--there is a decorative small tree here with red berries in autumn called mountain ash, but the native tree is white ash. These are currently in danger from an insect called emerald ash borer--strange purple boxes are hung in the trees in spring to hopefully lure these creatures to their death.<br />I suppose there are many sub-species of ash/rowan and I am destined to remain confused.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-45256981590307176522013-03-03T11:13:41.655-08:002013-03-03T11:13:41.655-08:00parsnip - we finally got the phone back about 9 da...parsnip - we finally got the phone back about 9 days ago. I am still playing catch up with everyone!<br /><br />Kath - village edge is probably about as near as we should go. I was considered oddball when I worked for Price Waterhouse and made my own Elderflower handcream. I'm sure they thought I was a witch!<br /><br />Coffee Lady - welcome. We live in a very beautiful area.<br /><br />Angie - My husband's g. grandfather was a non-conformist Methodist. I think non-comforming must be in the blood (and on my side too!)<br /><br />Terra - we aim to replace any trees we fell on our land, but not necessarily like with like as there are so many Ash trees in this part of the world. We will probably plant Rowan or Sloe in our hedgerows.<br /><br />Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-8243006757414208052013-03-03T10:10:02.440-08:002013-03-03T10:10:02.440-08:00Goodness, I still can't believe the continuing...Goodness, I still can't believe the continuing saga of BT and your phone line.<br />Wonderful photos !<br /><br />cheers, parsnip angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-16175846063117732812013-03-03T09:52:35.314-08:002013-03-03T09:52:35.314-08:00No I can't imagine you in the town!
