He was swaying in the wind with the tree.<br /><br />"I had tons of people offer to climb the tree however it wasn’t safe to do so, so I declined their offer. <br /><br />“My partner had the idea to hire a scaffold tower from Clacton Tool Hire, which we called at 7am when they opened. <br /><br />"They came at 9am so my partner and his dad assembled it and up they went.<br /><br />"Naartjie's back to normal now but felt very sorry for himself for a few days after!".
