View from deck in 2013. Notice how small the tree is and how low is the vegetation.

The vegetation,mainly Aloe, has grown up into the tree

Ben goes wild with the saw.

I now have the best view

Unfortunately it turns out that cutting down vegetation on sea front is against the law.

A man from the Village Office comes round.

“Who did that?”

“Ben did!” I sneak.

“He must go to prison!!”

“Will you let him off if I sing “Tancha Bay I Wish You Were Sake?”

“OK”

I sing and everything is fine.

He was actually very sweet and rather embarrassed about telling us off.

Ben likes beer
