On 26 November they started ripping out a small copse of trees behind us. It’s a farm field now but had been a golf course. I guess they felt like it was worth spending all that money! Maybe it’s an acre.
Interesting. In our area they have started 'planting' trees like this into the river Dee (and some tributaries) in strategic places to give shade for the fish, and in an attempt to cool the water a bit. Maybe they're saving it for such a project?!
