Thank goodness that the weather improved yesterday and today, compared to Tuesday (a complete wet wash-out!).
I was able to complete my first job - a pruning job on a fairly large flowering cherry tree. This was quite a challenge given the height and spread of the tree, which saw me standing both on the last rung of the ladder and within the main branches of the tree itself.
It was good though to be in the fresh air for almost 2 days - no phones, texts or emails... and the end result was appreciated with the tree looking in better shape.
Muscles are now, well, 'exercised' - but this was to be expected.
Back at base, I decided to clean off the tools used, ready for the next job:- a newly acquired bow saw, pruning saw, extending pruning saw and extending loppers - which incidently has a sharp blade that cuts the ends of fingers surprising well - if you're not paying correct attention whilst cleaning! Business accident book hasn't yet been acquired!
Checked that the advertising I sorted out last week is in place, and it is; so I'm content I've got some specific targeted coverage in Bishop's Cleeve, Woodmancote and Gotherington. The web-site has had a number of hits recently too, so that's promising.
Some more work maybe forthcoming next week, so I'm pleased about that.
