With temperatures running 1.5 C degrees cooler than normal it's been comfortable working away thinning and shortening my one run of hedge.
Over the last few years it's only had a top trim but now that the new neighbours are in and have been deemed worthy I am working up blisters and creating a nice look rather than a green barrier.
I've been slowed down thanks to all the rain showers that refuse to move on and I may come to a complete stop if the hot weather forecast holds true, but it's a start.

Less blue thanks.
