This being the state of affairs on Friday just past, the fifth day, just before I set off to visit Ben the Butcher in Upper High Street on a spot of sheep shoulder business. Some of the equipment for which is visible lower left. The folding umbrella was, in the event, not needed.
One quadrant of the jigsaw complete, the other three quadrants down to the background filling. Another day or so should see the job done. Perhaps with just a modest amount of trial and error.
BH has suggested that, after a day or so, I should dismantle it and have another go. It ought to go quite quickly while the memory of first time around is still fresh. We shall see.
Back from town along Hook Road, the western side of which I might say is not at all trolley friendly - a pavement that slopes does not make for a comfortable trolley, certainly not if you are putting any weight on it. I was reduced to crossing over to the eastern side, for some reason much better.
But I was pleased to see that the weeping Atlas cedar was all present and correct. Probably still a much better specimen than they can manage at Wisley. First noticed more than a decade ago at reference 2 - where, although I say it myself, I thought the second post has stood the test of time reasonably well.
Bing knows all about the weeping cedar, even if it only rates one line at reference 3. Reference 4, for example, offers one in a pot.
