Does anyone else totally lose the plot when let loose with a pair of secateurs? I went out this afternoon to prune my rather feeble rose bushes. I was armed with the new swanky secateurs I had got for my birthday. The roses look fine, but , oh my!!! Alongside them are ( were!!) some slightly overgrown firtrees and an ancient but well established rambling rose!! Started off with " I will just cut out the dead bits". Followed by " that bit is a bit untidy". Next " I think more light is needed, I had better trim this bit back". By the time I came in there was a mountain of branches, shoots, debris to be disposed of. " Don't worry, it will all grow back and look great" I told my shocked DH. Gosh, I hope it does !!!???????
