More ivy removed

When I was in the garden with a saw in my hand for reasons of trimming my willow, I figured I might as well make a start on something else I had intended to do for a long time. The western corner of my garden above the river has enormous amounts of ivy, and it obscures the view of the beautiful river. I had been thinking about taking it down before, but I had never come around to it. But then I decided to cut the first branch. Only after I had done that I figured I should have taken a picture.

The first bit of ivy cut loose and now lying on the riverbank

I didn't cut more off then. I was busy enough with the bits of willow! But when that job was done (it is now; it has resulted in a nice amount of firewood), and I still had a saw in my hand, I went for it. So after last year's removal of a lot of ivy from my crab apple tree, and the removal of the ivy from the house in 2022, I have made yet another ivy victim. And from the other corner of the garden you now have a much clearer view! I intend to enjoy that when spring comes. I still haven't found a gardener, so how beautiful that corner of the garden will be is disputable, but at least it looks a lot tidier than it used to!

Unobscured view!
