    Great, I'm glad you like that shape too @Uff.  I was thinking exactly as you did after I posted the other note - if you don't like the result you could easily reshape.  Time to get clipping - keep us posted!

    @Uff Much easier to see when you have two photos to compare. Good Luck!

    The deed is done. Just spent a pleasant 30 mins giving them their first haircut. Taken off about 3in more than the shape that I want but hopefully, doing that will help thicken them out and by the end of summer, I'll trim them again. Next summer should be what I want them to be.
    The one that's been damaged by the wind is quite clear now and at the moment held upright by a cane. I have a small stake that I can put in to hold it better until more roots have formed.

    I realise after I'd posted a distance pic would be better.

    @Uff Lovely what a transformation you would make an excellent hairdresser. Think you will always need to be on their case though.

    Thank you Plantminded. The smell, as I did the cutting, was divine, an almost perfumed, herby smell. Would make any room smell lovely.
