Going, going...

Down one side of my garden I have a wall over which there is an old church with associated churchyard, wonderful to look at and one of the things which attracted me to the property in the first place. Down the other side I have had for many years the hedge you see here. It has given me a living green boundary which I really like, and I like to think it helps the local wildlife as well. Unfortunately, but for very good reasons, the time has come for it to be replaced by a fence. I'll be sorry to see it go, but sometimes change has to happen.

Just about 24 hours later and this is how it looks...

The guys worked hard, and it must have been hot work too. I don't like it, but it isn't quite as bad as I feared. Tomorrow the fencing goes up.

A further 24 hours and we have this...

A good solid traditional fence, just like your grand dad used to have. I would still prefer my hedge but once its weathered a bit, blended in and lost the 'new' look I don't think it will look too bad.
