| The difficulty is collecting and using what is usually called 'brash'. We use rather more of it, but some is always too small, too contorted or otherwise unusable. Our problem is the tops of the hazel ... |

Nice you have got a wood mouse back again. So Yungi may be the new patriarch then.
Apart from pigeons and the odd rook, haven't seen too much of interest in the garden. We went into town yesterday ... |

| Probably true, but trees the size Gregotyn is talking about would be better converted to larger items imo. Smaller trees could be used for smaller things. One thing that really annoys me is large tree ... |
