hi there aliena thank you so much for your kind reply i felt as if i was a criminal when all i want to do, apart from earning a little money to finish of the renovation work,is to ensure that the trees don't become overgrown and begin to die because i can't manage the work. i'll take your advice and consult the commune. thanks once again
