<p>The tree removal should have been done and dusted over a couple of days but it hasn't gone quite to plan.</p>

<p>I was heading off to London for the weekend and by 9.30 the beech tree was virtually removed. It seems the guys had a piece of equipment failure when working on the Ash tree and they didn't finish it. One week later and it still stands.</p>

<p>They left me with a very large pile of wood chip which after a few days it started to steam in the freezing weather. It had to be spread out along the paths so that it wasn't in the way. It does tidy up the area and gives it a fresh look. All I need to do now is cut up the tree into fire sized logs so that it can season ready for next winter.</p>
