Jobs at Poltarrow - The pine tree gets a trim - gulp!

Those who have visited Poltarrow before may remember this large pine tree next to the telephone box and tumble room; it was grown from seed collected on a family holiday to Jersey in the late '80s.

However a combination of the pine starting to lean precariously near the tumble room as well as the roots undermining the walls meant it was for the chop!

Firstly the branches were trimmed off and then the limbs were removed, Barry cut them up for firewood whilst Peter loaded the chopped wood and stacked it ready for next winter.
