Striking while the iron is hot (and having got some nice shots of the snow), here goes for the second half of January. And February 2nd. Because winching a tree is too exciting to wait until March (or later, given my track record!) to be shared…

The snowdrops cometh. The ash limbs cometh (down – courtesy of Chris’ chainsaw). The snow cometh. And a winch to move a tree that had blown down in the high winds last Autumn, and become “hung” on some other – still standing – trees, cometh (getting to be the person powering said winch and seeing brilliant engineer in action is ACE).  And thus: the photos.
