No, not John, the tree luckily!
This olive tree belongs to one of our Spanish neighbours, it is next to the GR7 footpath which goes from here to El Golco (it runs from Portugal to Greece and people often walk sections of it as part of a walking holiday) Over the years 1 section of the tree has grown out over the path and is now about 8 metres tall - or should that be long? - and the weight of the top growth is in danger of pulling the tree over. We were asked to cut it down, log it and move it - for a share of the firewood of course!! J cut, I trimmed with the loppers, he logged, we took about 15 barrowloads to the closest point that we can get the car and did 4 round trips to off load at home. We still have the top branches to clear up and trim for fire-starter sticks - another day as it's raining today :(
