In praise of highway verge cutters

Last week our grass verges in Bread Street were cut and to my delight the verge cutter carefully went around clumps of wildflowers like these poppies in this photo - at least 4 other people have commented to me on this. I wrote to Highways today to thank them.

It is a pity they have been so savage with the trees - see 'Label' below for previous blogs on verge-side trees that have been lost.
