Tree watch.

I have just returned from Accrington, with my Eye-Spy book of trees.

All the other trees in Hyndburn are starting to show signs of life, and are begining to bud. Sadly the new oak trees planted on Broadway still look so dormant they might be dead.

I think planting them in November, when it was minus six, was not such a wise or cost effevtive move. At least they looked photogenic for the 'grand reopening'.;)

The first person to see any signs of life from the Broadway oaks can claim a lucky acorn or some karma.
 
You daft s*d Garinda, good competition though :D

Would give you some Karma for it, however, looking at your latest green block .. appears to be ready to explode :eek:
 
I think you might be right there Garinda. There is more life in a branch of Muti's magnolia tree that blew down in the storms.....that has buds on it and they look ready to open any day when the sun warms the air just a bit.
 
Well, don't worry, when they start doing the top bit of the road they can sort out the trees at the same time.

Mmmmmmmmm at what cost?

Whats the going rate for seven twenty foot high oak trees.

[By the way Katex if my power explodes I promise not to wipe it on the curtains.;)]
 
I believe they're talking about another £250k for the top part of the road, they might be able to find a few quid to go to B&Q for some more trees out of that sort of money.
 
Lets hope thet don't plant the next ones in a drought, if these ones are dead, and forget to water them in.;)

What like the hanging baskets in Ossy?

I just had a terrible vision of a certain council leader staggering out of the Rose and Crown, trying to water the baskets with his little hose.

So that's why they are all withered and brown.:D

HBC's glorious (self pontificating himself) would do such a thing bears not thinking about. He should set an example to others. :D

Acorn town needs its oaks so that must be the thinking behind it. :rolleyes:

They wouldnt plant them just for photo's and to be "borrowed" by unsavoiry elements. :o

Oak trees are fantastic.

Just think in about four hundred years the horrible blue and white facade will be hidden from view.;)

Hope that in 400years time they might have the cash to bulldoze it and start again. Even HBC could manage that couldnt they? ;)
 
Hmmm well yes, lets face it, you haven't exactly been left with a lot of old historic buildings have you, but on the plus side the ones you have got are very impressive. The bank at the end of broadway is quite nice.
 
Rindy,I will make it my personal duty to check on the trees every day as I pass them on a regular basis;usually whilst chasing shoplifters up and down Broadway!
 
Totally off topic but that reminds me, there was a guy, an immigrant, clearly not from this country, came up to me and asked me if id taken his money out of the cash point. He'd forgoten to pick it up, probably hassled by the child he had with him. Hope he got it back. I explained there was a good chance the cash point would take it back in if he hadn't took it within so many seconds, I had to virtually order him to go in to the bank to report it, as he thought he couldn't with it not being his bank. It was 250 quid.
