Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree...

At first glimpse of the task ahead of us, we thought a flame thrower might be a better option to clear it. But never to shy away from tough tasks at hand Matthew Rachel and I set about chopping and hacking and digging our way through the overgrown plants and shrubs until we stumbled across a hidden Christmas tree which had been planted some years ago. A fast and feverous hour later we had made a large enough dent to call it a day, for now. Thanks to Mary a local resident for her assistance and for arranging the task to start and Andy from ID Verde for the tools and van, as well as his efforts.
