Ellie - thanks so much - I saw that that you had sent that out. I'm planning to go - people are hysterical about the tree 'cull' going on! I am so with you on lack of trees (in UK in general I think!). I always think how much nicer my street would look if had about 10 big trees on it!<br>
<br>BTW - this is the thing I was thinking of going to at the ADC - what do you think? too weird? There are some other things on but hard to get a grip on from website; brochure is better.....<br><br><span>The Fire Within</span><br>

has been missing all day. On the eve of James’ departure for England,
the family gathers for a final farewell. Tempers fray as the oppressive
heat of day climaxes in the stifling darkness of the Indian night.

poignant snapshot of a decaying empire is a pertinent reminder of the

a moment can shape our lives.</span><span><br></span>

<font face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thanks Peter – but I honestly think there should be zero tolerance on felling perfectly healthy trees just because they’re no longer fashionable.<br>
<br>
For instance the Copper Beech outside your house is earmarked for the axe – simply because it’s the ‘wrong colour’ and they want a green line of trees.<br>
<br>
With reasoning like this, 10 trees is a lot. The conifers alongside the tennis court and swimming pool are being axed for no good reason, and no one was given any option on that – choice on that questionnaire was between two types of replacement hedge. Like the majority of swimmers, I feel the conifers by the pool are a useful screen for privacy and for wind. <br>
<br>
<br>
The bottom line should surely be NO removal of trees other than for good sound reasons. I think that was the will of the majority and certainly the view of everyone I talk to . I should like this policy adopted.<br>
<br>
