There used to be a rather large conifer in this view. Yesterday my new neighbours had it cut down.

It wasn’t the prettiest of things and was very overgrown. Totally down to them as it was on their property. But I didn’t realise how much it protected my house from the road. Until today when I really stopped to look. I felt rather exposed in my living room. I’m not, of course, but you get what I mean. But it’s funny how you get used to a view and how weird it feels when it changes.

On the plus, it’s definitely lighter in my living room. Well I’m sure it will be even more so if we actually had some decent light. I am so bored of grey skies now.
