<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9530191, member: 2844&quot;]Beautiful, and so very Cotswolds.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The view was one of the reasons why we bought our boring house. Two rows of beautiful thick chestnut trees across the road, and more trees a bit further behind the chestnuts. Unfortunately the chestnut trees had to be cut down this year, due to a disease.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie22" alt=":bigtears:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I still look out on the other trees, but also on a boring 1970s school building that now houses a local radio station. I did plant a magnolia tree in our front garden just after we moved in, it is now mature and hides part of the 1970s building from sight.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I miss the chestnut trees though.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> They will be replaced, probably next year, but it takes long for trees to grow that big.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the upside, the entire street is designated to become a &quot;green zone&quot; with lots of trees and other greenery, park benches, etc. We are close to the centre of town and they want more greenery to lower the temperature during hot summers due to climate change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
