Bob’s words

This is a native Irish Birch which was planted in an estate

and unfortunately it was planted in a position where

one of the neighbours felt it would be imposing on her light .

So we decided to dig it up this morning

and we are hoping to replant it here in the Gairdin Beo .

But when it came to us first it was just a tiny sapling

and we wanted to keep all the saplings that we got alive .

So we planted them a little bit higgledy piggledy in the estate

so now we tidied them up and we have a lot of other trees in the estate

and this one is now going to be replanted today

after being dug up at 8 o clock this morning .
