We love our Asian pear so much ... This is the view from the bedroom window this morning. We were so surprised, when the cracked concrete on the terrace was pounded up, not to see any roots breaking the surface - so many people had told us that the large cracks were due to the tree's activity, but, seemingly, not a bit of it - all we can see is soil. All the same, we will treat her very gently when we come to do the landscaping - there will be a large circle with bark around the base of the trunk, because we want her to carry on looking like this for many years to come.
The workers were here all day again today, moving the rubble off and away on a very rudimentary conveyer belt (watched by a fascinated Gramsci). You'll see planks in the background, which doubtless will shore up something next week. I really can't believe that this transformation is slowly taking place ...
