The last tree to leaf

Last summer and autumn, we had a great deal of tree work done at Well House Manor - catching up on years of neglect, clearing leylandia that had become a source of friction between the previous owner and her neighbours, and clearing the way for an improved entrance, driveway and parking. In the end, only one mature deciduous tree was lost - and that was a very old and mis-shapen specimen that would have only lasted another few years.
One of the other trees, close to the new driveway, would be fine (we were assured). However, this spring all other trees came into leaf and it remained bare. Look at the left of the picture above, taken early in May, and you'll see what I mean.
But I'm happy to report that in the last week or two, it's sprung back to life.
Another week, and we'll be celebrating a year of owning "Well House Manor". What a long way we have come in that time! (written 2007-05-20 14:15:55)
