Hard Landscaping

John has finally agreed to cut back some of the shrubs and trees at the front of the house, my preference was for a total replant but at the moment he has reduced everything by about 50% and I will see what grows back in the spring! Hopefully this drastic pruning will improve the views from the guest bedrooms and also has led to the discovery of an extra foot of drive! Already it seems lighter in the dining room, despite the gloomy weather at the moment.
