The Wall (OT)

I will point out to them that they cannot win and will end up paying my costs. The wall will have to have the part that is into my garden, demolished.

I am on good terms with other neighbour, he bought the house next door with the long garden like mine, shortened the plot, and sold house and small plot for renovation. The difficulty is that on his remaining plot there is a huge tree that has spilt in half, half of it has fallen on to his own land and the other half has fallen over my garden and is only being held up by one of my small trees that cannot take the weight for much longer and it is bending and might snap. I have asked him twice to do something about it, and eventually he came round with someone (tree surgeon?) three weeks ago. Nothing has yet been done. If my tree gives way from holding this huge one up (which it will) and I happen to be going down to the chickens at the same time, I will be history. So it is a possibility that we will fall out about that, and if we do, he is unlikely to support me about the wall. Why do so many things happen to me? I just want a quiet life and cannot seem to have one. Tweed |

my grandmother used to say that the devil doesn't plague you if he already
has you, so i infer from this that you are a decent and good person, which doesn't help much when crap is hitting you at such a rapid rate, Lee "Christina Websell" wrote in message ...

Dangerous tree is now sorted - a man with a chain saw came yesterday, so I
am still on good terms with that neighbour! Grandmothers say very wise things. My own grandmother, when I asked her when I was about 6 where I was during the war, she said "you were a seed in God's garden.." I was happy with that explanation.
