Last November I wrote about what I described as “the loss of an old friend”. There used to be two magnificent poplar trees in a garden near to the back of my house, but last November one was blown down in a storm. It was the smaller of the two that fell and I hoped that we would be able to keep the second tree. Unfortunately an inspection revealed that the remaining poplar was no longer safe and so had to come down too. Because of the proximity of several houses it was not possible to fell the tree in one go. Instead one man and a chainsaw nibbled away until it had been reduced to half its original height before the remaining trunk was brought down. It was a fascinating operation to watch, but a great pity that two such fine trees have been lost.
