After the chunk fell off the tree, it looked pretty bad. The tree surveyors came on Monday and immediately decided it had to go. The inside was rotten and a big storm would have knocked it down in any random direction. Apart from our house being right next door, the other options were all pretty lousy (streets, cars, people, bikes, et c.) with just a narrow wedge of field to aim for.
The roads around were closed on Monday afternoon. The police were ther along with a colourful assortment of experts, interested parties and hangers-on. It was an exciting event in the end, albeit a bit sad.

Only after the tree (around 35 m tall) was down could we see (and smell) inside the trunk. Then you could really tell that the tree had not been well.

I hope we can arrange something suitable to fill in the gap. Discussions are ongoing. Appointment at the Town Hall this morning. Fingers crossed.
