For several months in 2000, we had been trying to find someone who would come in and cut down the one cherry tree that was giving us so much grief (and way too many useless and sticky cherries). We had hoped that an Artisan, who would use the cherry wood for some good purpose, would want to come and harvest it, but no one could be found. Finally in mid-January, 2001, we contacted an arbourist to come in and take it down.

The Arbourist stopped by one late afternoon that January, poked and tapped, hummed and tutted and came to us with his findings. “Your call was very timely.” he said. “That one’s just starting to rot, about a foot up, but the other one is almost in dangerous shape.” The Other One? “I’m sorry but I think you’d be wise to get rid of them both, before they do you some damage. I can get them down without getting too near the gazebo, BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO LIFT ALL THAT TRACK”

You know that feeling you get when you’re between a rock and a hard place? The pit of your stomach hurts. That’s how I felt. He would be back in about a week. The greater part of my railway would have to be gone.

And it was.
