Cutting.

We’ve had another casualty in the Shire. An old beech tree in Bag Lane was brought down by last night’s storm, blocking the road. So sad. There was a team of three men there all day today with chains saws and one of those shredding machines. Heaven knows whether the insects in the bark survive the process. My greenhouse suffered more damage, too.

And I had my hair cut today, which is completely irrelevant.
