Oh Jan, that is something special to wake too! just gorgeous 
The cherry tree has gone
and looking at the branches, it was dying so a good call to have it taken out. Dying of old age in a garden is a good way to go! Our neighbour will take the big bits for her fire and MrK will take a bit for his woodworking. The bux hedge has had a haircut and I'm about a third of the way through waterblasting the concrete. It was a mad dash to get the waterblaster away and washing in before it bucketed down with rain. There is something very satisfying seeing the concrete and garden pots come up nice and clean. Much safer for us both too to get rid of the moss, stones and dirt. Hopefully this will be the end of the major tree cutting for a while. It was long overdue. The previous owner loved planting trees very close together forgetting that everything grows like crazy in the Waikato. Now that the tree grindings from the fallen tree have started to rot down, I can safely plant the yellow magnolia. The grindings were setting like chipboard!
