Happy New Year everyone. I mentioned a bad back a couple weeks ago- well in spite of excruciating spasms that lasted over a minute, making it impossible for me to move and pushing me to call an ambulance for my first hospital appearence in decades, I was back on my feet the morning after recieving doses of morphine and muscle relaxant cocktails. The next day I was reasonably mobile without drugs.
I'm now ready to go back to what I hope will be 3 months of solid fruit tree pruning- mostly big old apple trees. Hope most of my clients still have enough money to afford my fees. I also hope that most of you out there are weathering the general trials of our time well. I certainly don't go into the next year with complete confidence but at least I have plenty of firm apples in my well-house and venison and blueberries in my freezer.
Good luck to all. Alan Haigh
