Friday the 13th - lucky for some....

This is my friend Nigel finishing pruning my hedge. A job I started just under 2 weeks ago, but ended up in hospital for the next 5 days after falling off it. Apart from a trip in an ambulance to Dorchester and then home again, this is the furthest I've been from my house since.
Nigel, (unlike me) has a belt with carabiners that wrap him safely to a branch in order to stop a fall onto the road below should he lose his balance like silly old me!
