All Change (2)

When we moved in, the neighbours next door (the other side to the drive-ornament) had a mature apple tree (probably pre-dating the house) in the garden, near the border fence, and not all that far from the back of the house -- the windfalls even influenced the design of our extension, to avoid having a trap for falling apples.

Now that's gone in a one day chainsaw blitz (apparently it was badly cankered), and there is suddenly skyline, and a view into the previously hidden unkempt depths.
