On to happier topics. I got mad recently when the council came and ripped out all the trees on our street. It turns out it was all part of a big replanting job though. They came back a week later and put new trees where the old ones had been. Then, this week, they came back again and dug up the street to add even more trees! They'll look fairly slight for the short term but I heartily approve of the long term plan.
