This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

I liked those trees
One of the streets at the bottom of my road is lined with rather lovely lime trees. Sometimes when I walk along it I feel as if I’m walking through a wood with a few houses dotted here and there.
Not any more though. For the past week the council has had a bunch of guys making their way along the street with a chain saw and a wood eating machine. They’ve been chopping most of the leafiness off the trees leaving just the larger branches and a few smaller ones with leaves on. The idea is, I hope, that the leaves which remain will allow the trees to survive and regrow.
I imagine this is all necessary. Some of the houses must have been pretty dark inside with so much greenery outside their windows. All the same, it does seem terribly sad somehow. I liked those trees. The walk down to the shops just won’t seem the same until they grow again.
An apology
Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.
I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
