Every year I have a similar thing with my neighbour.
He's about 65 and each spring we prune back the 2 trees that lie between our gardens. That involves muggins going up the step ladders and clambering right up into the trees themselves while he holds the ladders.

To give you an idea of how high the trees are, when I'm in them I can see into my bedroom windows.

To his credit, he takes the crap to the tip, so I can't complain.

That sounded like you were complaining a bit

Just a tiny little bit
But he's 20+ years older than me and a foot shorter, so he'd never manage it.

I had an odd conversation with the neighbours at the bottom of our garden whilst 10' up in my pear tree with a saw
