Today we cleared the trees and shrubs that were getting up under the gutters of the house. It was a warm day for the Canberra winter. There was a lot of biomass to remove. Mrs Horse and Dominic helped.
We have a lot of fruit trees. The garden was planted out by the Italian who built the house or someone in his family. I have often wondered who it was. Grape vines run through the trees. The vines had used one of the trees to get into the roof gutters at one point, about forty feet up, an extraordinary effort.
Mr Horse concentrated on the fruit trees while Dom and I worked on the trees fouling the gutters. We soon had about a truckload of cuttings, which we will make more manageable this week before removal. It was good to get out in the garden. There is peace in the garden.
