DAY 199 (21 OCTOBER) – Cedar tree (Cedrus deodora) (Farnham)
My photo of the cedar on 11 September – see Day 159’s post
What a very sad day. It turned out to be the first of two very sad days this week (more later). I had seen the ominous sign on the gate a few days ago. It read something like: No entry. Dangerous cedar tree. So when I saw the gate open today, I went in. And the top photos say it all. Health and safety had given this ‘Transform’ team their job for the day. One of the men said that this type of work is what “gets me up in the morning”. Gosh.
