MILLSPUR

Armed with a hefty old Millspur fork It was time to dig out a disintegrating old tree stump and move a rhododendron bush I’d already cut cut down to a tenth of its size. 

A 20 minute job whilst the girls finish colouring in unicorns I thought. 2 hours later I’m still at it, trying to disentangle the stump from the roots of the hazelnut tree.

Frustration sets in, so I hit it with the gorilla bar while a thousand midges tuck into any exposed flesh they can find. 

Then, with the sound of a splintering pirate ship breaking apart as it sinks to the depths, the contorted timber hand finally relinquished its grip on the earth.

The rhododendron will have to wait another day.
