•Fully Quali ed and Insured Editorial When I first moved to this parish nearly 30 years ago, I loved •Tree Surgery to watch buzzards soar in the thermals above our garden. These days it is far more common to see red kites. Recently, lantingruningRemovals we have seen 20 or more being blown around the sky in the strong winds we have been experiencing. A lovely sight but •Hedge Cutting I’m please the buzzards are still around, too. As a crossword addict, I have the sad news that this month Stump Grinding there is no Spectrum crossword due to personal reasons of our complier. Hopefully normal service will resume next month Woodland Management but meanwhile our thoughts go out to her and her family.
