Lockdown in Didsbury, and a welcome trim

 
For today's Lockdown Exercise, Sue and I pedalled 10 km to Mike and Sarah's house in Didsbury, for a brief get together, with them inside the house and us well and truly socially distanced.
 
I wanted to inspect Chris L's work on the privet hedge. The results of last week's trim are shown above. My hair could do with something similar.
 
This is what it looked like before the trim, and this time only one lorry load was needed.
 

Today is the first anniversary of Mike and Sarah's move to Didsbury (and aren't they glad they moved when they did!), and this is the hedge they acquired a year ago, when Chris and Darren had to make three visits to get it under control.
 
 
There will be another trim at the end of the summer, but the hedge is now under control. Garden Design, however, is coming to the top of the agenda. A space for children's toys and a sand pit will be needed. Sarah's 'bump' is growing!

I hope they had power equipment. It wouldn't be much fun with a pair of hand held shears.

They certainly did, Conrad, and they only needed half a day and one trip to their recycling field - unlike the major exercise they undertook a year ago.
