Me 10 Ents 0

After days of toil armed only with a spade, trowel and loppers, the privet hedge has finally succumbed. Listening to Test Match special (England v West Indies First Test, Lords), through wind and (light) rain, endangering life and limb (who said gardening was not a contact sport?) it became a personal battle - one of us had to go.

Now I salute you, Ents, as I shred, lop into faggots (a Viking funeral for some of you) and consign the rest to the recycling bin.
