Thank you. I'm glad that people are making me realise that getting so upset about the tree wasn't as stupid as I thought it was when I calmed down, but you're right. It was more than just a tree, it was something my family did together.

I did have lights strung along the shed roof, but we've taken them down. Until the garden's more secure I'm not going to give anyone the chance to steal anything more. But we still have the ones on the roof, those are going nowhere.
