Ivy is such an invasive plant.  The roots get inside the mortar and destroy it which is why it is important to move it regularly.  A lot of it is dead (as Henri had it cut back before the sale) but some is still alive.  Both grip the wall with enormous strength!  It is a dirty dusty activity but I think I am winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/15rsb.xsxtc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_0980-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/15rsb.xsxtc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_0980-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/15rsb.xsxtc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_0980-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/15rsb.xsxtc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_0980-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/15rsb.xsxtc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_0980-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/15rsb.xsxtc.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/IMG_0980-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I left last night the wall had progressed well and this morning it looks good having dried out.
