I received a very helpful response:\r\n\r\n\"<em>I am waiting to finalise a comment from our tree officer but apart from that I am recommending the proposal for approval and hope to get everything finalised in the next couple of days</em>\"\r\n\r\nThis sounded so positive that we nearly cracked open the champagne however we are aware of the travails of local government and decided to hold fire until we had absolute confirmation in writing. A week later, in fact on the very last day after which the planners would miss their target the tree officer raised some objections:\r\n\r\n\"<em>The trees around the edges of this land are protected by the Tree Preservation Order Market Rasen No.2 2000.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>This report is dated 2007, so the size and condition of trees may have changed since then. British Standards guidance, BS5837 - Trees in relation to construction has changed since then as there is a new 2012 standard instead of the 2005 referred to in the report. </em>\r\n\r\n<em>The root protection areas (RPA’s) are drawn on the proposed site layout plan and show that the dwellings are clear of the RPA’s, but the garage of plot 3 is within the RPA of one adjacent tree, and the access road runs across the RPA’s of many trees along the southerly boundary. It would be preferable if this dwelling and garage could be repositioned a bit further north to reduce the amount of encroachment within the RPA on its southerly side.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>My main concern is the driveway shown across the RPA’s of the trees along the southerly boundary. Using traditional methods of excavations, hardcore and compaction I would not be in support of these proposals with the access drive across the RPA’s of these TPO trees. The driveway is possible using alternative methods by using a geotextile membrane over the ground surface and then a cellular confinement system on top. The individual cells are then filled with appropriate clean hardcore and a finished surface can then be laid on top or left with a gravel finish. A cellular confinement system avoids the need for excavations and spreads the load to minimise soil compaction and root damage. It also allows air and water to reach the roots below the cellular confinement system. Some of these trees are in poor condition and the report recommends removing four trees, but this would still leave several trees with the proposed driveway across their RPA’s.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>Also of some concern is the affects to the ash tree (A1 ash, in TPO W1) to the north side of the site entrance. The pillars and driveway are within the ash RPA and would sever roots important for the trees survival. Ash are shallow rooting trees and do not like root disturbance which can lead to crown dieback and decline. This tree is described in the tree report as ‘fair’ with a remaining life expectancy of 10 years, and has been given a category rating of ‘C’ as described in the BS5837. Category C trees are of low quality and are unremarkable with very limited merit or have impaired condition or are in groups that offer low or transient landscape benefit. Due to the condition of the tree (according to the report) it may be more appropriate to remove this tree or carry out a crown reduction in preparation for root reductions if the development proposals gain permission. If this tree is removed, it would be preferable for a replacement tree to be planted.</em>\"\r\n\r\nThis news after getting such a positive message from the planner was devastating and I went into a very dark place. Our architect has been very helpful and has agreed that we will do what is necessary to protect the roots under the drive and suggested that we remove the tree nearest our garage and replace it with another once the building work is complete. We are still waiting for a response.\r\n\r\nThe power of the tree officer far exceeds what is natural and whilst we wouldn\'t want to harm any of the trees on the site as they are a wonderul asset we don\'t want this to stop the project.', 'House Project Update', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'closed', '', '528-revision-4', '', '', '2012-09-08 11:54:30', '2012-09-08 10:54:30', '', 528, 'http://pigyard.com/wordpress/archives/606', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

The data has been restored but the configuration has not. What a crap piece of software that doesn\'t do a complete restore.\n\nOur trip to Bulgaria is now in doubt because when Jane explained to the WizzAir call centre that she needed to be able to sit with her leg straight in front of her they said we needed to buy another seat so she could sit sideways. We were miffed enough that this call was costing us 77 pence per minute but to have to buy another seat - no way! We\'re going to turn up at the airport, get on the flight and see what happens. If we get thrown off then it will be the airlines problem not ours.\n\nNormally our lives are so well balanced and planned that the events of the past 4 weeks have just been exceedingly depressing for me however Jane has managed to keep her head despite everything.\n\nHaving praised the NHS immediately after the accident the long term treatment has been non existent.

I confess I wasn’t looking forward to it especially as the weather forecast kept getting worse and worse and my fitness levels were not good.\r\n\r\nThere are many lycra clad people on the event who make light of cycling 50 miles but for me it’s the toughest physical event I take part in so it is a serious challenge however it’s in aid of two excellent causes (Cynthia Spencer Hospice and MacMillan Nurses).\r\n\r\n<img id=\"rg_hi\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"data:image/jpeg;base64,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\" alt=\"\" width=\"177\" height=\"43\" data-height=\"68\" data-width=\"276\" />After 20 miles I didn’t feel too bad and when it started raining heavily at 30 miles I did have some doubts as to whether I was going to make it. Needless to say I gritted my teeth and pressed on arriving at the finish after 4 hours and 20 minutes, soaking wet; thoroughly exhausted but still managing a smile. Jane and our friend Sue were at the finishing line giving out medals and I got a special kiss from Jane, or at least I like to believe she wasn\'t kissing all the finishers. Thanks to Jane’s persistence we managed to raise nearly £500.\r\n\r\nIf you would like to sponsor me then follow this link: <a href=\"http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Stephen.Jane_McCarthy\">http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Stephen.Jane_McCarthy</a>', 'Cycle4Cynthia', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'closed', '', '612-revision-3', '', '', '2012-09-24 11:37:42', '2012-09-24 10:37:42', '', 612, 'http://pigyard.com/wordpress/archives/617', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

The rollers were loud whenever it was printing but I accepted it. After a couple of weeks Jane persuaded me to contact the supplier to raise it as an issue. They were very helpful and offered to swap it out immediately, that is until I told them that I had recycled the packaging. Now normally I hang onto the box and packaging forever, we\'ve got boxes in the loft for electrical goods that went to junk heaven (or hell) some time ago, but on this occasion, because we\'re having a clear out, the box went out.\r\n\r\nAfter a bit of discussion the supplier sent out an Epson engineer who listened to the noise and declared it shouldn\'t be like that. Without lifting a screwdriver he produced a new model from the back of the van and hey presto we\'re back up and running.

The major difference is the processing speed and the use of the scribe for handwriting and drawing.\r\n\r\nThe handwriting is very good and feels almost as natural as writing on paper - I love it. I can see on the sofa and freehand write emails very quickly and if there are errors in the recognition then it can be edited easily, hassel free. I find it difficult to find fault however there are some issues with the software, particularly the synchronising software to the PC. I discovered that I could sync my Samsung S3 phone but the tablet wasn\'t recognised and after trying to connect the PC wouldn\'t then recognise the phone. I did get a solution from Samsung support that involved deleting a DLB file. Thereafter syncing has been fine, if a little slow.\r\n\r\nThe other complaint is the way the music system works. It doesn\'t automatically pick up album covers and if it does they\'re not correct, it is slow to display the music and is just clunky. Kies isn\'t a patch on iTunes which is a pity because iTunes wasn\'t that good.\r\n\r\nGenerally Samsung make excellent hardware and I\'m pleased I opted to follow the Android route rather than continue with Apple iOS however it feels as though Android still has a significant level of maturing to do before it becomes slick.', 'Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Review', '', 'publish', 'open', 'closed', '', 'samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-review', '', '', '2012-11-15 15:59:01', '2012-11-15 15:59:01', '', 0, 'http://pigyard.com/wordpress/?p=687', 0, 'post', '', 0),

We\'re so fortunate that Jane\'s brother lives in north London within easy striking distance of the city centre and he is a superb host so we stay overnight and have time to catch up with each other\'s lives.\r\n\r\nWe selected Jumpy because it featured <a title=\"Tamsin Greig\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamsin_Greig\" target=\"_blank\">Tamsin Greig</a> in the lead role. She\'s an actress who we both admire for her talent in playing comedy and serious roles apart from her long-standing role as Debbie in the Archers on Radio 4.\r\n\r\nThe play tells the story of the conflict of motherhood in the modern world, every mother is a daughter, and also the issues of a midlife crisis.

The major difference is the processing speed and the use of the scribe for handwriting and drawing.\n\nThe handwriting is very good and feels almost as natural as writing on paper. I can see on the sofa and freehand write emails very quickly and if there are errors in the recognition then it can be edited easily, hassel free. I find it difficult to find fault however there are some issues with the software, particularly the synchronising software to the PC. I discovered that I could sync my Samsung S3 phone but the tablet wasn\'t recognised and after trying to connect the PC wouldn\'t then recognise the phone. I did get a solution from Samsung support that involved deleting a DLB file. Thereafter syncing has been fine, if a little slow.\n\nThe other complaint is the way the music system works. It doesn\'t automatically pick up album covers and if it does they\'re not correct, it is slow to display the music and is just clunky. Kies isn\'t a patch on iTunes which is a pity because iTunes wasn\'t that good.\n\nGenerally Samsung make excellent hardware and I\'m pleased I opted to follow the Android route rather than continue with Apple iOS however it feels as though Android still has a significant level of maturing to do before it becomes', 'Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Review', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'closed', '', '687-autosave', '', '', '2012-11-15 15:58:30', '2012-11-15 15:58:30', '', 687, 'http://pigyard.com/wordpress/archives/691', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Thankfully we ignored them because what do critics know.\n\nWe love sci-fi so even a poor story line will have us hooked as long as the gadgets are smart and Oblivion had plenty of expensive technology even if the connection between earth and the Control Centre went off at night - we cannot figure out why that would be but let\'s not dig too deep into the practicalities because this is a film and not reality.\n\nSo earth has been invaded but humanity has survived sufficiently to realise that the planet is no longer sustainable so techies remain on the planet to harvest its resources before migrating to another habitable planet. Or at least that\'s how it starts. Without wishing to give too much away there is a twist that comes out of nowhere and is very good. There are doubts and the doubts are what make this film very entertaining. Plenty of edge of the seat stuff and similarities to <a title=\"Moon\" href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/?ref_=sr_3\" target=\"_blank\">Moon</a> with questions about one\'s own existence for good measure.\n\nWe enjoyed it very much and after the initial enjoyment we spent some time discussing the flaws in the story line but as mentioned before \"let\'s not dig too deep into the practicalities because this is a film and not reality\".

What did I expect? Well yes that\'s a good question - yes I expected double entendre and graphic descriptions of what gay men do for sexual gratification but it went on for too long on a single theme.\r\n\r\nIn the second part of the act he selected eight men out of the audience and under the guise of looking for a partner he humiliated them on stage asking them questions and getting them to perform tasks one of which involved a man who was at least middle aged bobbing blind folded into a bucket that contained plastic penises.

Although we have planning permission one of the conditions is that we design a drive structure that will not harm the tree roots.

As part of our Spring clean up we decided to put down some more gravel on the drive and lo and behold a lorry turned up with five tonnes of 20mm gravel. We think that we put down ten tonnes about 8 years ago so goodness knows where it goes - it might be a good example of entropy.\r\n\r\nSo we could get the cars in and out of the garage we had to spread the five tonnes as quickly as possible.

Their quote for the work was slightly less than the other bidders and they were the most enthusiastic about the work when we interviewed them however the total build costs were much higher than we anticipated so we were looking for savings.\r\n\r\nIt was an interesting morning and we managed to save £12K on the external render. We\'d specified some lightweight render that had a good thermal efficiency however it turns out that it\'s 4 times the price of normal render so we soon ditched that. We\'re also looking at white wood for skirting and architraves which not only saves us money it also gets over the problem of different coloured woods throughout the house and it sets off the oak doors that we have selected.\r\n\r\nMore delays seem to be creeping into the programme because of getting water onto the site as it seems the utility companies are not very quick to react to requests.

It was only just over an hour\'s drive away but we decided to stay overnight.\r\n\r\nThe hotel was a 30 minute walk from the York Barbican and thankfully it was a dry, chilly evening. After a reasonably priced dinner at a nearby Wetherspoons we took our seats. It never ceases to amaze us how late people will turn up to an event all apologetic about making you stand up as they move along the row but they had a enough time to stop off in the bar to grab a drink or two. The support act was a young guy called <a title=\"Billy Lockett on Facebook\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/billylockettmusic\" target=\"_blank\">Billy Lockett</a> who was really good and someone to look out for in the future.\r\n\r\nNow for KT. What a set! She was excellent, like looking into a stream of crystal clear water and hearing her voice.  She never hits a bum note and draws you into the event like she\'s playing for you and a few friends, even prepared to start again if she feels it isn\'t going right. We just love the way she starts by sampling the percussion by drumming on her guitar, adds a few voice bits, and some tambourine and away she goes. To see this build from nothing is exceptional and we\'ve never seen anyone else do this.\r\n\r\nHer final song of the night brought together all her creative skills and she left the stage with the sampled backing music still playing - what a stunning ending. The walk back to the hotel through York at 11pm was magical.', 'KT Tunstall Gig', '', 'publish', 'open', 'closed', '', 'kt-tunstall-gig', '', '', '2013-11-13 17:06:59', '2013-11-13 17:06:59', '', 0, 'http://pigyard.com/wordpress/?p=1284', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The drinks and meals in the bar are horrendously expensive and the food even more so. I had fish and chips last night which cost £14.50 and it was no better than you\'d find wrapped in yesterday\'s newspaper. So tonight we decided to go back to a pub we spotted earlier. After travelling down narrow lanes in the pouring rain we pulled up in the car park and made our way inside to a scene from Deliverance.\r\nJane went to the bar and ordered our drinks and then asked for the menu only to be told that they stopped taking orders at 8pm - the time? 8.02, I kid you not.

I avoided the cheesy sandwiches in favour of a crispy bacon salad sandwich but on the first bite I heard a crunch which didn\'t sound like bacon and there was something strange in my mouth. As I fished about with my tongue I realised one of my upper front teeth was missing. It had sheared at gum level and looked as if it was rotten. How can this be? I\'ve visited the dentist every 6 months since about 1973, they\'ve been fully xrayed in the past 2 years and yet this weakness has gone unnoticed. I think in this day and age your teeth shouldn\'t catastrophically fail or am I dreaming?
