Excellent job....ive had a house with Ivy covered front...liked it very much but house always filled with Spiders!

[exiled-viking]

yes some bloody spiders are big ones. but its the birds we have a dawn chorus every morning, they seem to roost in it also this year we have 17 nests, at one time 8 on the go at once Amanda insists the Ivy is trimmed 3 times a year, As we are on a hill top  the house is nearly 40+ feet high, so trimmer in one hand and the other one on the ladder praying my numbers not up each time LOL .
