We moved in finally on 28th Oct. After two days exclusively unpacking I ventured into the garden for a really good look. The ‘woods’ at the end are less chaotic than I thought and could be left for a time although the alder tree could possibly come out at it is too big and dominant.

I think I have a larch and also a cherry. The drooping ( weeping?) beech has to go as I don’t like drooping trees.

Also not sure what to do about the area near the house which is more undulating and rough than I thought. Need to use the undulations and make some sort of shape of it all. I’ll keep thinking on that one.
