The holly bush has been chopped to a fraction of its size this morning. I have filled the brown bin with spiky holly! I’ve discussed it at length with our neighbour and she told me to try and keep the euonymus next to it. I wasn’t intending to lose that too.

It needs a saw to decapitate the thick branches. I’ll try that now!

The phormium looks very unhealthy and I’m not sure what to do with it.
