Laylandi ? .maze looks knackered...

it was originally leylandii but that did not survive long - it is now beech which is deciduous hence the brown patches. The house is closed over winter, reopens April when the leaves will have regrown.
 
I really do need to get up to Scotland especially as my Mum named me Glen...with an extra ‘n’. I don’t think she had a speech impediment 😂

Your mum was spot on with your name with 2 n's, the name Glenn has Irish and Scottish origins, derived from the Gaelic word "gleann," meaning "valley." It became common as both a surname and a given name in English-speaking cultures, particularly in the 19th century.

My brother is called Garry - my father was Scottish and his parents lived on the Torwoodlee Estate which isn't very far away

Thank you for that explanation. I shall wear my double barrel ‘Glenn’ with pride. 👍

From memory of the road outside the place, JB, it can be affected in the autumn by the incredible amount of tree leaves on the road, and in the spring time by farmers and their tractors of mud going from field to field. I’m not complaining about the farmers at all, for they have a job to do.
