Merry Wednesday! Happy Pines Day!
What a morning!!! Funny story ... and it's okay to laugh so go ahead.
Early this morning some random guy turns up with a chainsaw about to cut down the tree in my front garden. The one that houses the Christmas robin that visits every year. I was dumbstruck as to what was happening at first. I ran out into the rain, still in my pajamas and fell over into the garden which is a muddy pool these days due to the heavy rains. The guy informed me that he was here to cut the tree down on the request of the owner who claims it is on their property.
After much arguing and me throwing myself in front of the tree (wet,covered in mud, twigs in hair) the guy makes a phone call only to discover he has the WRONG tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is meant o be doing the neighbour's tree two houses away!
He seemed scared at that point and made a very quick exit.
Can you imagine!!!!!!!!!!! I shudder to think what could have happened! I would have been devastated!!

Here is a photo of the robin. It's not a very clear shot but hopefully you can see him. He spends ages near the window looking in at us. He comes every year around mid autumn. He has become one of our signs that Christmas is coming.
